Summary

Completed in 1980, this earth-type dam stands at a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 13 feet, with a length of 800 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 825 acre-feet, providing vital water resource management for the region.

With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Pariette East Dike serves a primary purpose beyond traditional flood control or irrigation. This multipurpose structure plays a crucial role in water management for the Pariette Draw, contributing to the overall water security of the area. Despite not having a rated condition, regular inspections are carried out by the Utah Division of Water Rights to ensure the dam's continued safety and functionality.

As a key component of the water infrastructure in the region, Pariette East Dike highlights the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns. Its presence underscores the need for ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and investment in critical water infrastructure to adapt to the challenges posed by a shifting climate landscape.

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.
