Alliance Consulting Engineers dam
Alliance Consulting Engineers
Alliance Consulting Engineers, INC. is a private water resource consulting firm based in Weber, Utah, working closely with the Utah Division of Water Rights to regulate, inspect, and enforce water management practices in the region. Specializing in flood risk reduction, Alliance Consulting Engineers, INC. has designed and regulated earth dams to mitigate flood hazards in the area, with a significant hydraulic height of 9 feet and a structural height of 21 feet.
Situated in the Omaha District of Utah, Alliance Consulting Engineers, INC. has constructed a dam with a length of 500 feet and a storage capacity of 2.73 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 0.32 square miles. The dam has a spillway width of 12 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 24 cubic feet per second, making it a crucial asset in managing water resources in the region. While the dam is deemed to have a significant hazard potential, its condition assessment has not been rated, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts.
With a regular inspection frequency of 5 years, Alliance Consulting Engineers, INC. plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of water infrastructure in the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the work of organizations like Alliance Consulting Engineers, INC. becomes increasingly important in safeguarding communities from the risks of flooding and other water-related disasters.

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 Alliance Consulting Engineers
Where does the data for Alliance Consulting Engineers 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 Significant 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.
