Summary

is a privately owned water resource located in Sevier, Utah, managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights. This irrigation structure, primarily used for agricultural purposes, stands as an earth dam with a hydraulic height of 35 feet and a structural height of 40 feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet. Situated off Spring and Ivie Creek, this ranch plays a crucial role in sustaining water availability for the surrounding area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Johnson Livestock Oak Ranch L.C. undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. The last inspection was conducted in August 2018, with a condition assessment that remains unrated. With the dam's proximity to the Los Angeles District and clear state jurisdiction and regulation, the ranch plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.

As a key player in the water resource landscape of Utah, Johnson Livestock Oak Ranch L.C. exemplifies the careful balance between agricultural needs and environmental stewardship. With its strategic location and purposeful design, this privately owned structure serves as a cornerstone for sustainable water usage, reflecting the importance of responsible water management in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing demand for water resources.

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.
