Summary

is a privately owned dam located in Wasatch, Utah, under the jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights. This Earth type dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction, with a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 11.6 feet. It has a normal storage capacity of 7 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.7 square miles, with a maximum discharge of 70 cubic feet per second. The dam, with a length of 325 feet, plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks in the area.

Operated and regulated by the state of Utah, Wilding, David P. has not been rated for its condition assessment, indicating a potential need for further evaluation. The dam has a spillway width of 13 feet and is inspected biennially for safety and maintenance purposes. While the hazard potential is considered significant, the risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans for the dam are not mentioned in the available data. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed about the condition and management of dams like Wilding, David P. to ensure the safety and efficiency of water infrastructure in the region.

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.
