Summary

Completed in 1990, this offstream earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and has a storage capacity of 187 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is water supply, serving various needs such as flood risk reduction, irrigation, and overall water security in the region.

Managed by the local government, Svcsd Reclamation Pond 2 is regulated and inspected by the California Department of Water Resources, Safety of Dams division. With a significant hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment as of September 2017, this dam plays a crucial role in ensuring water supply reliability for the surrounding area. The last inspection in November 2020 maintained a regular inspection frequency to uphold safety standards and mitigate risks associated with its operation.

Situated within the Sacramento District, Svcsd Reclamation Pond 2 plays a key role in water management and infrastructure development in California. With its strategic location and capacity to store and supply water for various purposes, this earth dam represents a crucial piece of the state's water resource infrastructure, highlighting the importance of ongoing regulatory oversight and maintenance to ensure its continued safe and efficient operation.

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.
