Historical Information
In May the National Forest Service issued a special use permit to the Provo Reservoir Company and Sego Irrigation Company of Provo, Utah, and the Wasatch and Timpanogos Irrigation companies of Heber City to dam several lakes at the headwaters of the North Fork of the Provo River for irrigation. Of the lakes approved for modification - Crystal, Washington, Wall, Trial and Star, Star was the last to be reservoired. Two short dams, with a combined crest length of 530 feet, were built across its southern outlet in The area around the lake is timbered with a few grass openings. The dams feature typical small-scale construction and have compacted clay cores, covered with earth fill and faced with rock riprap on both upstream and downstream slopes.
The outlet on the primary dam consists of a 12" diameter corrugated steel pipe surrounded by 6" concrete, and an inclined sliding headgate. It is proposed that the dam be reconfigured and new outlet works and spillway be constructed to lower the level of the lake.
