Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake dam
Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake
Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake in Duchesne, Utah, is a privately owned fish and wildlife pond regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. Completed in 1992, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 42.3 acre-feet. While the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment is currently not rated, and it is inspected every five years to ensure its safety and functionality.
Located at 16,2S~3W SL, Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake serves as a vital resource for supporting fish and wildlife in the area. Although the dam does not have spillways or locks, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the region. With its primary purpose focused on creating a sustainable habitat for various species, this dam represents a harmonious blend of environmental conservation and water resource management in Utah.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the intricate details of Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake, they can appreciate the careful oversight provided by the Utah Division of Water Rights. With a commitment to ensuring the proper maintenance and operation of this essential structure, regulators work diligently to uphold the integrity of the dam and safeguard its surrounding ecosystem. The peaceful beauty of the lake stands as a testament to the delicate balance between human intervention and natural preservation in the dynamic landscape of water resource management.

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 Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake
Where does the data for Six Lakes - #1 - Eagle Lake 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 Low 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.
