Summary
This dam, completed in 1982, serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a normal storage of 125 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam is situated on Current Creek and has a significant hazard potential, although its condition assessment is currently not rated.
The Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 8 feet and a hydraulic height of 4 feet, with a length of 1885 feet. The drainage area associated with Goshen is 323 square miles, making it a crucial water resource for the surrounding area. The dam has a spillway width and spillway type that are not specified in the data, but it is equipped with outlet gates and has a maximum discharge capacity. While the risk assessment and management measures for the dam are not provided, the fact that it is regulated and inspected regularly reflects a commitment to maintaining its safety and functionality for the community it serves.

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.
