Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge dam
Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge
Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge is a privately owned dam located in Bountiful, Utah, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Constructed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 14 feet. It has a storage capacity of 6 acre-feet and is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights.
Despite being categorized with a high hazard potential, the dam is currently in fair condition as of the last inspection in June 2020. The inspection frequency is set at once per year, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure. While there are no associated structures or spillways mentioned in the data, the dam serves a crucial role in providing water for irrigation in the region.
Located in Davis County, Utah, Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge plays a vital role in water resource management in the area. With its history dating back to the 1960s, the dam stands as a testament to the importance of infrastructure in supporting agricultural activities and maintaining water availability for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the proper regulation and upkeep of dams like Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge are essential for ensuring sustainable water management practices in the region.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge
Where does the data for Sdid - #1 Bountiful - Oakridge come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
