Summary

Managed and regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 16.13 acre-feet, Jenkins Pond plays a significant role in mitigating potential hazards and protecting the surrounding area from flooding events.

Although specific details on the dam's height, length, and volume are not provided, it is categorized as an earth dam with a spillway width of 28 feet. The hazard potential for this structure is deemed significant, highlighting its crucial role in safeguarding the community from potential risks. Despite being marked as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, regular inspections occur every five years to ensure the dam's integrity and functionality are maintained.

Overall, Juab County's Jenkins Pond stands as a vital asset in water resource management, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures in addressing flood risks and safeguarding the local environment. As climate change continues to impact water systems, the presence of well-maintained structures like Jenkins Pond becomes increasingly crucial in ensuring the resilience of communities against potential natural disasters.

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. 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

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, 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.
