Summary
With a capacity of 51.6 acre-feet and a hydraulic height of 27 feet, this earth dam structure serves the primary purpose of supporting agricultural irrigation activities in the region. Despite its low hazard potential and a last inspection date in 2016, the condition assessment of the reservoir has not been rated, indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure its long-term safety and efficiency.
Situated in a picturesque setting with coordinates at 37.46627249 latitude and -112.4392801 longitude, Dry Hollow Reservoir stands as a vital water resource within the region's water infrastructure. The reservoir boasts a maximum discharge rate of 4.2 cubic feet per second and a spillway width of 20 feet, catering to the water needs of the surrounding area. While the reservoir's emergency action plan status and risk assessment details are not provided, its role in sustaining agricultural operations underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to safeguard water availability and quality in the face of changing climatic conditions.
As climate change impacts continue to influence water resources and availability, the significance of reservoirs like Dry Hollow in supporting irrigation and agricultural activities cannot be understated. With regulatory oversight from the Utah Division of Water Rights and low hazard potential, ensuring the structural integrity and functionality of this vital water storage facility is crucial for sustainable water management in the region. By prioritizing regular inspections, risk assessments, and maintenance activities, stakeholders can enhance the resilience of Dry Hollow Reservoir and its capacity to meet the evolving water needs of the community amidst a changing climate landscape.

Dam Data Reference
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.
