The Adobe Wash Sediment Basin, located in Orangeville, Utah, was designed by Johansen & Tuttle and completed in 2017 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This private-owned Earth dam stands at a structural height of 34 feet, with a hydraulic height of 31 feet, providing a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. The basin covers a drainage area of 1.4 square miles and has a maximum discharge capacity of 130 cubic feet per second.

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, the Adobe Wash Sediment Basin is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its proper functioning and safety. With a significant hazard potential, the basin has an inspection frequency of 3 years and has not been rated for condition assessment. Although no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been prepared or updated, the basin serves as a crucial infrastructure to mitigate flood risks in the region.

In the event of a potential emergency, it is essential for stakeholders to stay informed about the Adobe Wash Sediment Basin and its risk management measures. With its strategic location and design features, this sediment basin plays a key role in protecting the surrounding area from the adverse impacts of sedimentation and flooding, highlighting the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
