The dam, completed in 1995, stands at a height of 28 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet and a structural height of 30 feet. It serves primarily for flood risk reduction and is classified as an earth dam with a rockfill core and soil foundation.
With a storage capacity of 35.5 acre-feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition as of the last assessment in October 2021. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not had any modifications over the years and does not currently have any Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The dam's spillway, an uncontrolled type with a width of 8 feet, has a maximum discharge capacity of 70 cubic feet per second.
Although the dam is not under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, it is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the Nevada Department of Water Resources. The dam poses a minimal risk to downstream communities and has not experienced any major incidents or breaches to date. It remains an essential structure for managing stormwater events and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
