Stateline Dike B dam
Stateline Dike B
Stateline Dike B, located in Summit, Utah, is a federal-owned structure designed and maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation. Built in 1979, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and serves multiple purposes, including fish and wildlife management, irrigation, recreation, and water supply. With a storage capacity of 15,932 acre-feet, the dam helps regulate the flow of the East Fork Smith Creek and provides essential water resources to the surrounding area.
Despite its relatively small size, Stateline Dike B poses a high hazard potential, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and emergency preparedness. The dam has a hydraulic height of 3 feet and is primarily made of earth and rock materials. While it lacks a spillway, the structure has associated locks and gates for water control. As a critical component of the local water infrastructure, the dam's risk management measures and condition assessment remain crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of this vital resource.
With its strategic location and significant impact on the ecosystem, Stateline Dike B exemplifies the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in Utah. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water availability and quality, structures like this dam play a crucial role in safeguarding habitats, supporting agricultural activities, and enhancing recreational opportunities. By prioritizing maintenance, risk assessment, and emergency response planning, stakeholders can mitigate potential threats and ensure the sustainable utilization of this essential water source for current and future generations.

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 Stateline Dike B
Where does the data for Stateline Dike B 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 High 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.
