Summary
Completed in 2017, this earth dam structure stands at a hydraulic height of 12.5 feet and a structural height of 15.5 feet, with a normal storage capacity of 105.84 acre-feet. The dam is classified as low hazard potential, with a current condition assessment of "Not Rated."
Located within the jurisdiction of the Utah state regulatory agency, Myton City West Pond serves as a vital water storage facility in the region. With a maximum discharge rate of 3.95 cubic feet per second, this pond plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting local water needs. Although the dam's inspection frequency is set at every 5 years, the last inspection was conducted in November 2017, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure its structural integrity and safety for the surrounding community.
This water infrastructure project, situated in the Omaha District, reflects the collaborative efforts between local government entities and engineering firms to develop sustainable solutions for water management in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, regulatory oversight, and operational aspects of structures like Myton City West Pond is essential for promoting water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
