Summary

3 is a concrete hydroelectric dam located in Cache, Utah, along the Logan River. Completed in 1924, this dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. With a height of 31.5 feet and a length of 108 feet, it has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres.

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights and regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Logan No. 3 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite its age, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained, with the last inspection conducted in June 2016. Emergency action plans are in place, meeting guidelines set by regulatory agencies to ensure public safety in the event of a dam failure.

Situated in a picturesque location near the city of Logan, this dam stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering and continues to play a crucial role in water resource management and energy production in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Logan No. 3 offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of nature, infrastructure, and sustainable development.

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.
