Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db dam
Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db
Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db is a private dam located in Salt Lake, Utah, designed for flood risk reduction. Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this dam stands at a structural height of 44 feet and has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential, this earth dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," regular inspections are conducted with a frequency of 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. This dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. Despite this, the risk associated with Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db is considered low, providing a sense of security for both the local community and the environment.
Situated within the Omaha District, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, the importance of well-maintained dams like Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db becomes increasingly evident. By effectively managing and monitoring this dam, authorities can mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of downstream communities and ecosystems.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db
Where does the data for Suncrest-N Broadleaf Hollow Db come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
