Juab County - Jenkins Pond dam
Juab County - Jenkins Pond
Juab County's Jenkins Pond is a privately owned water resource located in Utah, specifically along Salt Creek. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Juab County - Jenkins Pond
Where does the data for Juab County - Jenkins Pond come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
