Johnson Reservoir Report

Last Updated: March 10, 2026

Johnson, Clement H.


Summary

is a private water resource structure located in Garfield, Utah, regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. This earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 136 acre-feet. While the dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," it is considered to have a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.

Despite lacking certain details such as the year of completion and last inspection date, Johnson, Clement H. remains under the jurisdiction of the state of Utah and is subject to permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a designated emergency action plan frequency of 5 years, this dam is equipped with necessary safety measures to mitigate risks. While it may not be a high-profile structure, its significance lies in its contribution to water resource management in the region.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Johnson, Clement H. serves as a reminder of the intricate infrastructure needed to sustain water storage and management. Its presence within the Utah landscape symbolizes the ongoing efforts to balance human needs with environmental conservation. As advocates for sustainable practices continue to emphasize the importance of responsible water usage, structures like Johnson, Clement H. play a vital role in ensuring the resilience of water resources in the face of changing climates and growing demands.

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.
