Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of irrigation. Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and functionality. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment not yet rated, Loggers Fork remains a crucial water resource for the surrounding area.

Situated in Sanpete County, Utah, Loggers Fork is a key structure on the LOGGERS FORK river system, with a drainage area of 1 square mile. Despite its age, the dam has been well-maintained and remains in good condition, with regular inspections scheduled every 5 years. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it continues to provide vital irrigation water for agricultural use in the region. With a close eye on safety and risk management, Loggers Fork ensures a reliable water supply in an environmentally conscious manner.

Owned privately and operated for the benefit of the local community, Loggers Fork showcases a blend of historical significance and modern water management practices. With a strong foundation and a commitment to regulatory compliance, this earth dam exemplifies the importance of water resource management in a changing climate. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, the preservation and sustainability of structures like Loggers Fork are essential for ensuring a resilient and secure water supply for future generations.

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.
