Summary

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this earth dam structure was completed in 1930 for irrigation purposes. With a height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 15 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, providing water for agricultural use in the area.

Situated along Lake Creek, this significant water resource covers a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and has a normal storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam is regularly inspected by state authorities, with the last inspection conducted in June 2020. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the hazard potential is considered significant, highlighting the importance of proper management and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Clegg Lake offers a fascinating example of early 20th-century water infrastructure in Utah. As a crucial component of the local irrigation system, this reservoir plays a vital role in supporting agriculture in the region. With its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight, Clegg Lake serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water demands.

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.
