Summary

Built in 1963 for irrigation purposes, this Earth dam on Deep Creek stands at a structural height of 37 feet and a hydraulic height of 32 feet. With a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet, Rose Ranch serves as a vital source of water for agricultural activities in the region.

Despite its low hazard potential, Rose Ranch undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity. The last inspection took place in June 2019, and the dam was deemed to be in a "Not Rated" condition. Although it lacks certain risk management measures like Emergency Action Plans and inundation maps, the ranch continues to provide valuable water resources for the community.

Located within the jurisdiction of the Walla Walla District, Rose Ranch plays a key role in sustaining the local ecosystem and supporting the agricultural economy of the region. With its long history of serving as a reliable water source, this dam remains a crucial asset for water management and climate resilience efforts in Box Elder County.

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.
