Summary

Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 29 feet with a hydraulic height of 23 feet, providing crucial protection for the surrounding area along Battle Creek. With a storage capacity of 82.6 acre-feet, the dam plays a key role in mitigating the risk of flooding in the region.

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, North Utah County - Battle Creek is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction. Classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam has been assessed as satisfactory in condition as of June 2019. With a history of regular inspections and maintenance, this structure serves as a critical component of water resource management in the area.

In the event of an emergency, it is important for residents and authorities to have updated emergency action plans and contact information. While specific details about the dam's emergency preparedness are not provided in the data, the structure's overall risk management measures and adherence to guidelines are essential for protecting the community and maintaining the integrity of North Utah County - Battle Creek.

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.
