R.N. Industries - Wonsit Disposal Ponds
R.N. Industries - Wonsit Disposal Ponds, located in Uintah, Utah, is a privately owned water resource facility regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. The disposal ponds, primarily used for industrial purposes, have a low hazard potential and a hydraulic height of 10 feet. With a storage capacity of 57.2 acre-feet, the facility serves as an essential component in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its modest size and low hazard potential, the Wonsit Disposal Ponds play a crucial role in the local water management infrastructure. The facility is subject to regular state inspections, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and maintaining the safety of surrounding communities. With a focus on responsible water resource management, R.N. Industries upholds its commitment to environmental stewardship through proper maintenance and operation of the ponds.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights, R.N. Industries - Wonsit Disposal Ponds serves as a model for private sector involvement in sustainable water resource management. With a state-regulated status and a history of compliance, the facility exemplifies the importance of private ownership in maintaining water quality and availability in Utah. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, we recognize the significance of facilities like Wonsit in ensuring the long-term sustainability of our water supply.
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 R.N. Industries - Wonsit Disposal Ponds
Where does the data for R.N. Industries - Wonsit Disposal Ponds 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.
