Farmington City Rudd Creek Db dam
Farmington City Rudd Creek Db
Farmington City Rudd Creek Db is a vital flood risk reduction structure located in Utah's Davis County. Managed by the local government, this earth dam on Rudd Creek was completed in 1984 and stands at a hydraulic height of 7 feet and a structural height of 15 feet. With a capacity to store 12 acre-feet of water, it plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
The dam's significant hazard potential underscores its importance in safeguarding the community against inundation risks. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, regular inspections ensure its structural integrity and operational readiness. The Utah Division of Water Rights oversees the regulatory aspects of the dam, including permitting, inspection, and enforcement, highlighting the commitment to maintaining its functionality and safety standards.
With a history dating back to the 1980s, Farmington City Rudd Creek Db remains a key infrastructure for flood risk management in the region. Its location on Rudd Creek, its association with the Omaha District, and its purpose of flood risk reduction underline its significance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts. As climate change continues to impact water systems, structures like this play a crucial role in mitigating potential hazards and protecting communities from the adverse effects of extreme weather events.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Farmington City Rudd Creek Db
Where does the data for Farmington City Rudd Creek Db come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
