Springer Tungsten Dam, located in Pershing, Nevada, serves a primary purpose of tailings storage and is privately owned. Constructed in 1982, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet with a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a length of 10,150 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 2,350 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 126 acres, with a maximum discharge of 36 cubic feet per second. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a spillway width of 50 feet.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is poor as of the last inspection in October 2021. The dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Nevada Division of Water Resources. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a risk management plan in place. With its location on the Humboldt River-OS and its importance for tailings storage, Springer Tungsten Dam is a significant water resource structure in Nevada, attracting the attention of water resource and climate enthusiasts.
