Summary
- Saleratus No. 3 is a privately owned dam located in Woodruff, Utah, along the Saleratus Creek. Built in 1906 for irrigation purposes, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 23 feet and has a hydraulic height of 21 feet. With a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, it serves the surrounding agricultural lands in the Rich County area.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Farmland Reserve, INC. - Saleratus No. 3 has been deemed to have low hazard potential. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last one conducted in June 2019. The dam has not been modified or assessed for its Emergency Action Plan (EAP) preparedness, inundation maps, or risk assessment, but it meets the regulatory standards set by the state.
Located in a picturesque setting in northern Utah, Farmland Reserve, INC. - Saleratus No. 3 is an essential infrastructure supporting the local agricultural community. With its historical significance and crucial role in providing irrigation water to the region, this dam stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management in the area.

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.
