Summary
This private earth dam is designed to withstand hydraulic heights of up to 31 feet, with a structural height of 33 feet and a total length of 1490 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 37.2 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2.6 acres, providing crucial water resource management in the region.
Located in Eureka County along Maggie Creek, this dam is regulated by the Nevada Department of Water Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its fair condition. With a low hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating of 2, the South Leach Property Stormwater Pond Dam plays a significant role in mitigating potential risks and managing water resources effectively in the area. Its construction and maintenance adhere to state permitting and enforcement regulations, highlighting its importance in the local climate and water management landscape.
As part of the Sacramento District and Congressional District 02 in Nevada, this dam is integral to the region's infrastructure and environmental resilience. With no spillway and outlet gates, the dam's design focuses on earth and rockfill materials, providing a solid foundation for its operations. Despite its fair condition assessment, the South Leach Property Stormwater Pond Dam continues to serve as a vital resource for water management and climate resilience efforts in the area.

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.
