Historical Information
The dam on Long Lake was constructed in for the purpose of storing irrigation water. The National Forest Service had initially issued a special use permit to the Provo Reservoir Company of Provo, Utah, in September The reservoir company built dams on Long and Lost lakes in the same year. The Long Lake Dam was refaced in The dam and secondary dike are situated across the lake's natural drainage at its southern tip. Both structures feature typical earth-fill construction, with compacted clay cores, earth fill over and rock riprap on the sloping upstream concrete; an inclined 18" Hardesty sliding headgatc is fitted at the pipe's inlet. A concrete spillway is located on the eastern end of the dam. Seepage has been observed on the downstream toe of the dam.
It is proposed that the dam be refaced and the outlet and spillway replaced.
