Summary
Owned by the local government and regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a structural height of 13 feet, with a length of 200 feet. Completed in 1984, the dam has a storage capacity of 3 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 100 cubic feet per second, making it a significant asset in mitigating flood hazards in the region.
With its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, the Deuel Creek Dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation. The dam's inspection frequency is reported to be every two years, with its hazard potential classified as significant. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam remains operational and crucial for the safety and well-being of the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like the Deuel Creek Dam are essential for managing flood risks and ensuring the resilience of the local ecosystem.
As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates monitor the condition of infrastructure like the Deuel Creek Dam, it is important to recognize the critical role these structures play in adapting to changing climate patterns. With a focus on flood risk reduction and regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the dam stands as a testament to proactive measures taken to safeguard communities against potential disasters. By staying informed and engaged in the maintenance and monitoring of such structures, stakeholders can work towards a more sustainable and resilient future for water resources in Utah and beyond.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
