Summary

in 2002 for the purpose of irrigation. Owned by the local government, this dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and is subject to state inspection and enforcement. With a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a structural height of 13 feet, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.

This significant dam, with a hazard potential of "Significant," plays a crucial role in water management for the region. While the condition assessment is currently labeled as "Not Rated," the dam undergoes inspections every two years to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Despite lacking specific details on spillway type and volume, the Coalville City Irrigation Dam remains a key infrastructure for maintaining water supply in Coalville and the surrounding areas, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.

With its location in Summit County, Utah, this dam serves as a testament to the collaboration between local government and engineering expertise in ensuring water security for agricultural purposes. As an essential resource in the region, the Coalville City Irrigation Dam stands as a symbol of resilience and adaptability in the face of climate challenges, showcasing the importance of innovative water management practices in safeguarding our precious water resources for future generations.

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.
