Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds dam
Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds
Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds in Yavapai, Arizona, is a vital water resource managed by a public utility. This offstream facility, constructed in 1982, serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond and covers an area of 17 acres with a dam height of 13 feet. The dam, primarily made of earth with stone core types, has a storage capacity of 189 acre-feet and plays a crucial role in supporting local wildlife and ecosystem health.
Under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds is subject to state regulations and inspections to ensure its safe operation. The facility has a low hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating, highlighting the importance of proper management and maintenance. Although last inspected in 2011, the structure remains in good condition, with no reported issues affecting its functionality as a key water resource for the region.
With its scenic location and essential role in promoting biodiversity, Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices. As climate change continues to impact water resources, facilities like these play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and ensuring the well-being of local ecosystems.
Dam data reference
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 Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds
Where does the data for Camp Verde Wwtp Duck Ponds 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 Low 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.
