Summary
Built in 1929, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 13 feet, with a length of 300 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 105 acre-feet, serving the purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Meadow Creek is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its safety and functionality. With a low hazard potential and a five-year inspection frequency, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite the lack of recent assessment data, Meadow Creek remains a vital water resource infrastructure in the region, supporting agriculture and water supply needs.
Located in a drainage area of 15.9 square miles, Meadow Creek plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the region. With its historical significance and ongoing importance for water resource management, Meadow Creek stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of irrigation infrastructure in Utah.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
