Summary
This earth type dam, completed in 1989, stands at a structural height of 25 feet and spans 365 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 23.5 acre-feet, this low hazard potential dam serves as a vital resource for supporting aquatic ecosystems in the region.
Though currently not rated for condition assessment, this dam poses a low risk and undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality. With emergency action plans yet to be prepared, the Bureau of Land Management 90r269 remains a significant asset for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area. As a centerpiece for conservation and wildlife preservation, this dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the surrounding environment.
As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates continue to monitor and support the conservation efforts of Bureau of Land Management 90r269, its role in sustaining fish and wildlife populations in Uintah, Utah, remains paramount. With its regulated status and state jurisdiction, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of responsible water management practices and serves as a beacon of hope for preserving natural habitats in the face of environmental challenges.

Dam Data Reference
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.
