Pivotal Promontory dam
Pivotal Promontory
Pivotal Promontory, LLC #5 is a privately owned water resource in Summit, Utah, regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. This irrigation dam is classified as an Earth type structure, with a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 17 feet. It has a storage capacity of 50.58 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of irrigation. The dam, completed in an unspecified year, spans a length of 1120 feet and has a spillway width of 10 feet.
While Pivotal Promontory, LLC #5 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite lacking detailed information on emergency action plans and risk management measures, this structure continues to contribute to water management in the region. Located in the Omaha District and overseen by the Utah state regulatory agency, this dam plays a pivotal role in supporting agricultural activities in the area.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Pivotal Promontory, LLC #5 an intriguing subject of study, given its role in irrigation and water storage. With its relatively low hazard potential and compliance with state regulations, this privately owned dam stands as a testament to the importance of water infrastructure in sustaining agricultural practices. As further data and assessments are conducted, a more comprehensive understanding of the dam's impact on the local ecosystem and water management strategies can be gained.
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 Pivotal Promontory
Where does the data for Pivotal Promontory 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.
