Summary
This dam, standing at a height of 147 feet and with a structural height of 147 feet, was completed with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. With a surface area of 7.3 acres and a drainage area of 0.1 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its importance, Mill 2 Pond C Dam has been assessed as unsatisfactory in condition, with a significant hazard potential. The last inspection in April 2019 revealed areas of concern, prompting the need for regular inspection and maintenance. With a high risk assessment rating of 2, it is essential for stakeholders to address any potential risks and implement adequate risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam.
As a key structure in the Muddy River-OS watershed, Mill 2 Pond C Dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Nevada Division of Water Resources and is regulated by state agencies. With no spillway and outlet gates, this dam requires close monitoring and adherence to safety guidelines to mitigate any potential emergencies. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should closely monitor the condition and management of Mill 2 Pond C Dam to safeguard the surrounding environment and communities.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
