Summary

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this urban fishery serves primarily for irrigation purposes. The dam structure is classified as an Earth dam with a hydraulic height of 3 feet and a structural height of 6 feet. With a storage capacity of 18.89 acre-feet, the dam is capable of discharging a maximum of 25.6 cubic feet per second.

Despite being designed for irrigation, Manila Creek Urban Fishery also provides a unique recreational opportunity for fishing enthusiasts in the area. The significant hazard potential of the dam adds an element of excitement and challenge for those looking to fish in a more unconventional setting. The condition assessment of the dam is currently not rated, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of this urban fishery. As a locally regulated water resource, Manila Creek Urban Fishery offers both practical utility and recreational enjoyment for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

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.
