Pariette Flood Control Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

Located in Uintah, Utah, the Pariette Flood Control structure is a gravity dam built in 2003 by the Bureau of Land Management with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Pariette Draw.

Summary

With a hydraulic height of 26 feet and a structural height of 33 feet, this dam spans 1,100 feet and covers a surface area of 300 acres. Despite having low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, with inspection frequency set at every 5 years.

Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Pariette Flood Control is under the jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring state oversight on permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While currently not providing any storage capacity, the dam serves as a vital structure for safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flood events. With its strategic location and design, this flood control structure stands as a key asset in mitigating flood risks in the region and maintaining the safety of residents and ecosystems along the Pariette Draw.

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.
