Completed in 1985, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 24 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet, offering a maximum storage capacity of 3 acre-feet. The dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding Willard City from potential flooding events, as it is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Utah Division of Water Rights.
Despite its significant hazard potential, the Cook Canyon Dam has not been conditionally rated and lacks emergency action plans or risk assessment measures. The last inspection was conducted in May 2004, highlighting the need for updated assessments and emergency preparedness protocols. With a drainage area of 0.3 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, making it essential for local government officials and water enthusiasts to monitor its condition and regulatory compliance closely.
