The dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and is subject to state inspection and enforcement. With a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, Riverton Dam has a significant hazard potential and is classified as not rated in terms of its condition assessment.
Constructed for unknown primary purposes, Riverton Dam has a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 15 acre-feet. The dam is situated on an unknown river or stream, with a drainage area of 595 square miles. Despite its age and lack of recent condition assessment, Riverton Dam remains a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region. However, the lack of information on its design, construction, and modifications raises questions about its long-term reliability and safety.
With the potential to impact surrounding communities in case of failure, Riverton Dam requires regular inspections and a comprehensive emergency action plan to mitigate risks. The dam's current status as not rated in terms of condition assessment underscores the need for further evaluation and maintenance to ensure the safety and resilience of this vital water resource infrastructure in Utah.
