About this gauge's record

USACE's continuous elevation record for this project begins in 2013 (2 tracked series for this project).

The dam behind Pineview Dam & Reservoir

Pineview Dam & Reservoir is held back by Pineview Dam (also recorded as Pineview Reservoir) , a rockfill embankment — quarried rock placed in compacted layers around a sealing core , standing 137 ft high and running 600 ft along its crest , built across OGDEN RIVER in Weber County , near OGDEN . It was completed in 1937 and modified in 1993E;1993S;2004E;2004S , and is owned by BUREAU OF RECLAMATION (a federal owner) , to a design credited to BUREAU OF RECLAMATION.

Its recorded primary purpose is irrigation — the pool is drawn down across the growing season to serve water rights downstream, then refilled over winter .

Its spillway is gated, so the operator can hold the pool above the spillway crest and meter what leaves. The spillway opening is 30 ft wide.

NID classes it high hazard potential. That describes what a failure would cost downstream — loss of life would be expected — and says nothing about how likely a failure is, or what condition the dam is in.

At its normal pool the reservoir covers about 2,874 acres. NID records a maximum storage of 116,000 acre-ft against a normal storage of 110,150 acre-ft. Its maximum discharge capacity is 2,400 cubic feet per second.
