Summary
2 is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Genola, Utah. Built in 1949, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 14 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9 feet, with a total length of 3375 feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation, with a storage capacity of 831 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.4 square miles.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Summit Creek No. 2 is classified as a significant hazard potential structure. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it undergoes inspections every two years to ensure its safety and functionality. The last inspection was conducted in May 2019, and it meets state regulatory requirements for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. In the event of an emergency, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared, highlighting the need for further risk assessment and management measures to be implemented.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the historical significance and engineering feat of Summit Creek No. 2, which continues to play a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. As climate change impacts water resources, the proper maintenance and monitoring of such infrastructure become increasingly important to ensure the safety of downstream communities and the sustainable use of water for irrigation purposes. The insights provided by the data on Summit Creek No. 2 offer a glimpse into the complexities of water management and the ongoing efforts to balance human needs with environmental stewardship.

Dam Data Reference
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.
