Summary
With a hydraulic height of 18 feet and a structural height of 21 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 47 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 800 feet and is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards.
This low-hazard dam has not been rated for its condition assessment but is inspected every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. The spillway width of 8 feet allows for controlled water release, mitigating any potential risks associated with the dam. Although the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk assessment details are not specified, the dam is managed for irrigation purposes and serves as a vital resource for water management in the region. With its strategic location and efficient design, Lawrence South Irrigation-Pond #2 stands as an essential infrastructure for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates in Utah.
In the care of private ownership, Lawrence South Irrigation-Pond #2 plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and water supply in the area. Its adherence to state regulations and regular inspections ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the sustainability of water resources. As a significant contributor to the local economy and ecosystem, this dam exemplifies the importance of effective water management practices in mitigating the impacts of climate change and promoting environmental resilience.

Dam Data Reference
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.
