Dant Blvd Detention Dam, located in Reno, Nevada, serves as a crucial structure for flood risk reduction along the Truckee River. Completed in 1990, this earth dam stands at a height of 42 feet and has a hydraulic height of 32 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a spillway width of 24 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1510 cubic feet per second.

Despite its fair condition assessment, the dam has a high hazard potential and is subject to regular inspections by the Nevada Department of Water Resources. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam is deemed to have a manageable level of risk. The last inspection took place in June 2021, and the dam has been modified in 2006 for hydraulic purposes. While the dam has an uncontrolled spillway and one outlet gate, it plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
