Soldier Meadow Dam, located in Humboldt, Nevada, on Soldier Creek, is a private dam primarily used for irrigation purposes. The dam is an earth-type structure with a height of 51 feet and a hydraulic height of 48 feet. It has a storage capacity of 1740 acre-feet and a drainage area of 51.7 square miles. The dam has a spillway width of 30 feet and is equipped with two slide (sluice gate) outlet gates.
Despite being in fair condition as of the last assessment in October 2021, Soldier Meadow Dam has a high hazard potential, making it crucial for regular inspections and maintenance. The dam is regulated by the Nevada Department of Water Resources and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. In the event of an emergency, preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) may be necessary to protect downstream areas from potential flooding risks associated with the dam.
With a moderate risk assessment rating, Soldier Meadow Dam serves as an important water resource infrastructure in the region, providing vital irrigation water for agricultural purposes. Its location in the Walla Walla District and its association with Congressional District 02, Nevada, highlight its significance in water management and climate resilience efforts in the area.
