Summary

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this pond serves as a vital habitat for various species of wildlife in the region. With a storage capacity of 60.69 acre-feet and a hydraulic height of 12 feet, Burraston Pond - #1 provides a safe haven for aquatic life and contributes to the overall ecosystem health of the area.

Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Burraston Pond - #1 undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. The last inspection was conducted in September 2020, and the pond was deemed to be in satisfactory condition. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, emergency preparedness measures are in place, although specific details such as the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and risk assessments are yet to be fully documented.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Burraston Pond - #1 for its role in supporting biodiversity and maintaining a healthy ecosystem within the region. As a State-regulated facility, the pond is operated in compliance with the guidelines set forth by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring that it continues to fulfill its primary purpose as a fish and wildlife habitat for years to come.

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.
