Summary
Designed by CH2MHILL, this reservoir has a storage capacity of 10.8 acre-feet and is classified as an earth dam. Although specific details on the dam's height, length, and volume are not provided, it is noted to have a significant hazard potential, requiring regular inspections every two years.
Despite lacking a condition assessment rating, Kennecott - Magna Reservoir #2 is considered to be in a satisfactory condition for operation, with emergency action plans presumably in place. Situated within the Sacramento District and owned by a private entity, this reservoir plays a crucial role in water management within the region. The exact primary purpose of the dam is not specified, but it serves as a vital infrastructure for supporting water supply and climate resilience efforts in the area.
Overall, Kennecott - Magna Reservoir #2 stands as a key component of the water resource infrastructure in Utah, contributing to the state's water management and climate adaptation strategies. With its significant hazard potential and state regulation, this reservoir underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring water infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
