Summary
With a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 24 feet, this earth dam provides a storage capacity of 15.15 acre-feet for the surrounding area. Situated in Morgan County, this water source is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring that it meets all necessary standards for inspection, enforcement, and permitting.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its hazard potential is considered significant. With a maximum discharge of 40 cubic feet per second and a spillway width of 15 feet, this water resource is equipped to handle potential emergencies. The association has an inspection frequency of twice a year, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the dam's integrity and safety protocols. While no emergency action plan (EAP) is currently prepared, the association may need to consider developing one to meet guidelines and ensure that the community is prepared for any unforeseen events.
Overall, the Morgan Secondary Water Association serves as a vital resource for irrigation in the region, contributing to sustainable agriculture practices and water management. With a focus on regulatory compliance and safety measures, this earth dam has the capacity to support the surrounding area's water needs while also prioritizing the protection of the environment and public safety. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the association's role in managing and maintaining this essential infrastructure will be crucial for ensuring a resilient and sustainable water supply for future generations.

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.
