Summary
Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 18 feet and has a hydraulic height of 15 feet. It has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 35 acre-feet, and drains into Boiler Springs. The dam is rated as having significant hazard potential, but its condition assessment is currently not rated.
Located in a picturesque setting with a surface area yet to be determined, Meadow Lodge Lake offers a tranquil environment for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. Although the dam does not have spillway information available, it is inspected every two years to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. With its close proximity to Los Angeles District and the oversight of the Utah Division of Water Rights, Meadow Lodge Lake provides a valuable resource for both locals and visitors to appreciate and protect.
As a vital water resource in the region, Meadow Lodge Lake serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible water management and climate awareness. With its historical significance dating back to the mid-20th century, this dam continues to play a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities while also highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of its surroundings. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, Meadow Lodge Lake presents a unique opportunity to engage with the intersection of human development and environmental stewardship in a dynamic and evolving landscape.

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.
