Summary
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 24.5 feet with a hydraulic height of 18 feet. With a storage capacity of 5.2 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood hazards in the region.
Despite not having a designated year of completion or a condition rating, Hildale Carling Street Db holds a significant hazard potential, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 132 cubic feet per second, this dam is equipped to handle significant water flow during flood events. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and functionality of this vital infrastructure.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the critical role that dams like Hildale Carling Street Db play in safeguarding communities from flood risks is essential. With its state-regulated status and presence in Congressional District 02, Utah, this dam serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private ownership and state agencies in managing and protecting water resources. Continued monitoring and investment in infrastructure resilience are key to ensuring the long-term effectiveness of dams like Hildale Carling Street Db in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
