Summary

Constructed in 1977, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 10 feet and spans a length of 3600 feet, with a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its operational integrity.

Situated on the Pariette Draw river or stream, Pariette Central Dike serves as a critical component of water management in the area, with a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated." Despite its age, the dam has not undergone any significant modifications in recent years and continues to fulfill its primary purpose effectively. With a history of state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement, Pariette Central Dike plays a crucial role in maintaining water security for the surrounding community.

Managed by federal authorities and falling under the jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights, Pariette Central Dike serves as a reliable infrastructure for water resource management in the region. Although its primary purpose is classified as "Other," the dam's role in regulating water flow and storage is vital for maintaining ecological balance and supporting local agricultural activities. As a low-hazard structure with a manageable risk profile, Pariette Central Dike stands as a testament to effective water resource management practices in Utah's diverse 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.
