Summary

Constructed in 1956, this Earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 25 feet, with a length of 500 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 162 acre-feet, serving as a crucial component of the OS Davis-Weber Aqueduct system.

With a high hazard potential, the condition assessment of Weber Basin Equalizing Reservoir - Combe is currently not available. Despite its critical role in water resource management, the reservoir lacks detailed information on its current state, including surface area, drainage area, and spillway type. The last inspection was conducted in April 2020, and its Emergency Action Plan (EAP) was last revised in June 2020, suggesting ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure in case of emergencies.

As a vital part of the water infrastructure in the region, Weber Basin Equalizing Reservoir - Combe plays a significant role in regulating water flow and storage. With its history dating back to the mid-20th century, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure its continued effectiveness in meeting the water resource needs of the surrounding area.

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.
