Summary

Completed in 1996, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction with a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a structural height of 13 feet. The dam has a length of 754 feet and a storage capacity of 12 acre-feet, making it a significant asset for managing stormwater in the area.

Located in Carbon County, Utah, the Price Stormwater Database plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from the hazards of flooding. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam is inspected every three years with a hazard potential classified as significant. With its strategic positioning and design, the dam effectively mitigates flood risks and ensures the safety of the region.

Ensuring proper maintenance and risk management measures are essential for the continued effectiveness of the Price Stormwater Database. With its importance in flood risk reduction and the potential impact on the community, ongoing inspections and adherence to regulatory guidelines are crucial. The collaboration between private ownership and state regulation highlights the significance of this structure in safeguarding against the adverse effects of stormwater events in the area.

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.
