Summary
This private-owned earth dam, completed in 2000, stands at a hydraulic height of 8.2 feet and a structural height of 11.5 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 47 acre-feet and a normal storage of 32 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and is subject to state inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
With a hazard potential classified as high, the 4200 West Pond dam is maintained in satisfactory condition, according to the last assessment conducted in 2000. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unreported, highlighting a potential area for improvement in emergency preparedness and response. Despite the lack of recent risk assessment data, the dam continues to play a crucial role in providing water resources to the community, emphasizing the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safety of surrounding areas.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts closely monitor the state of dams and reservoirs in the region, the Riverton City - 4200 West Pond serves as a focal point for water supply management and regulation. With its significant storage capacity and essential role in providing water to the community, the dam's condition and safety measures are of paramount importance. Continued oversight and adherence to regulatory standards will be crucial in safeguarding the integrity of the structure and minimizing risks associated with its operation, underscoring the critical intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in the area.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
