Coyote Hole Dam, located in Elko, Nevada, serves primarily for irrigation purposes along the Billy Shaw Slough.
This Federal-owned structure stands at a height of 10 feet and spans 100 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. While the dam's hazard potential is considered low, it is noted to be at a very high risk due to its condition assessment being not rated.
Although last inspected in 2013, Coyote Hole Dam remains a critical component in the water resource management of the area. With a controlled spillway and one outlet gate, the dam continues to provide essential water supply for fire protection, livestock, and small fish ponds in the region. Its location in a remote area further highlights the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety for all users.
