South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir No. 25b dam
South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir No. 25b
South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir No. 25b, located in Weber, Utah, is a Federal-owned water resource managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. Built in 1970, this earth dam structure stands at a height of 11.1 feet and has a storage capacity of 10 acre-feet. The reservoir plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the Ogden River and is associated with four other structures in the area.
With a high hazard potential, the South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir is subject to regular inspections by the Bureau of Reclamation to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite the lack of specific condition assessment data, emergency action plans have been put in place to address any potential risks associated with the reservoir. Additionally, the presence of Congressman Rob Bishop as the representative for the area highlights the significance of this water resource in the region.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir No. 25b to be a key component in the water management infrastructure of Utah. Its role in regulating the Ogden River, coupled with its high hazard potential, underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to safeguard both the reservoir and surrounding areas. As a Federal-owned structure, the Bureau of Reclamation plays a crucial role in the operation, regulation, and inspection of this vital water resource.
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 South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir No. 25b
Where does the data for South Ogden Equalizing Reservoir No. 25b 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 High 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.
