Situated on the Truckee River, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of recreation, with secondary purposes including irrigation. The dam stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 24 acre-feet.
Despite its recreational value, the Northgate Golf Course Dam poses a high hazard potential and has been rated in poor condition as of the last inspection in June 2021. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam is in need of attention to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway, a slide outlet gate, and is located in Congressional District 02, Nevada, under the jurisdiction of the Nevada Department of Water Resources.
Given its critical state, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts may want to monitor updates on the Northgate Golf Course Dam to ensure proper maintenance and risk management measures are implemented to safeguard both the dam structure and the surrounding community from potential hazards.
