Summary

Completed in 1984, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 90 feet and a structural height of 105 feet, with a length of 515 feet. With a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet, this dam helps to protect the surrounding area from the potential hazards of high-risk flooding events.

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the Davis County Stone Creek Db dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam is currently assessed as being in fair condition. With a drainage area of 10 square miles and a maximum discharge of 313 cubic feet per second, this dam is a critical piece of infrastructure for managing water resources in Davis County.

Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will appreciate the essential role that the Davis County Stone Creek Db dam plays in mitigating flood risks in the region. With its strategic location on the Stone Creek in Ward Canyon, this dam serves as a vital asset for the local community, providing critical protection against potential inundation events. As efforts continue to ensure the dam's safety and functionality, its importance in safeguarding the area's water resources and infrastructure remains paramount.

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.
