Summary

With a dam height of 75 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, this reservoir plays a crucial role in providing water to the surrounding area. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in September 2017.

Managed by the Department of Water Resources and Safety of Dams in California, Greystone Reservoir is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure the safety and reliability of its infrastructure. The reservoir, with a surface area of 2 acres, serves as a vital source of water supply for the region, highlighting its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Additionally, the reservoir's emergency action plan is regularly updated to meet safety guidelines and mitigate potential risks associated with its operations.

As a key component of the local water supply system, Greystone Reservoir is closely monitored and maintained to uphold its critical role in water management. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, this reservoir serves as a vital resource for the community, contributing to the overall sustainability and resilience of the region's water infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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. 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

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, 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.
