Summary
Completed in 1986, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 18 feet and has a hydraulic height of 15 feet. With a total storage capacity of 39 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 30.24 acre-feet, the pond plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
This significant structure, designed for purposes beyond flood control, covers a drainage area of 15 square miles and can discharge a maximum of 44 cubic feet per second. While its hazard potential is classified as significant, the condition assessment is currently not rated. The last inspection in September 2019 revealed no major concerns, but the inspection frequency is set at every two years to ensure the safety and efficiency of the regulating pond. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the functionality and maintenance of infrastructure like Grantsville Regulating Pond is crucial in managing water resources sustainably.
With its strategic location and storage capacity, Grantsville Regulating Pond serves as a vital asset in the water management infrastructure of Tooele County, Utah. Supported by state regulation and inspection, this Earth dam continues to play a key role in water resource management, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for the benefit of the local community and the environment. As advocates for sustainable water practices, staying informed about the functionality and condition of structures like Grantsville Regulating Pond is essential in ensuring the long-term resilience of water resources in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
