Summary
Constructed in 2008 by designer LOWHAM, this earth dam on Dit Draw stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 39 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including irrigation, fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond maintenance, making it a crucial water resource for the local community.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam has a moderate risk rating due to its location and potential impact on the surrounding area. With a spillway width of 35 feet and a maximum discharge of 1688 cubic feet per second, the dam is equipped to handle excess water during heavy rainfall events. Regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety measures are up to date, with the last assessment taking place in July 2017.
Managed by a private owner, Kane 03-19-5781 plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. With its strategic location and multiple benefits, this dam serves as a valuable asset for the community and underscores the importance of proper infrastructure maintenance in safeguarding water resources for future generations.

Dam Data Reference
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.
