Summary

Built in 1933, this earth dam has a hydraulic height of 7 feet and a structural height of 9 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet for agricultural purposes. The dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards.

Despite its low hazard potential, Pot has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection was conducted in July 2011. The dam is situated within the jurisdiction of the state of Utah, under the oversight of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With no associated structures, Pot serves as a vital component of the irrigation infrastructure in Summit County, providing water resources for local farmers and residents.

With its historical significance and functional importance in the region, Pot stands as a testament to the enduring relationship between water resources and climate management in Utah. As a key player in the agricultural landscape of Woodland, this earth dam continues to fulfill its primary purpose of irrigation, showcasing the sustainable use of water for economic and environmental benefits. As efforts to monitor and maintain the dam persist, Pot remains a symbol of responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
