Summary

2 is a private irrigation dam located in Woodruff, Utah, serving its purpose since 1873. This earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 11 feet and a hydraulic height of 8 feet, with a length of 235 feet and a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Situated on the Lake Hollow stream in Rich County, Utah, this dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring proper inspection, enforcement, and permitting to maintain its functionality.

With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is not rated, Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 has been inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted in June 2017. Despite lacking an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and other risk management measures, the dam remains a vital component for irrigation in the area. The dam's location within the Omaha District and its association with the primary purpose of irrigation highlights its importance in sustaining agricultural activities in the region.

As a significant water resource infrastructure in Utah, Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources for agricultural purposes. With its historical significance dating back to the 19th century, this dam symbolizes the longstanding relationship between water management and farming in the state. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the intricate details of this dam's design, purpose, and regulatory oversight in ensuring its continued operation for the benefit of the local community.

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.
