Located in Sparks, Nevada, the D'Andrea Ranch Hole #6 Pond Dam serves as a crucial structure for flood risk reduction along the North Truckee Drain.
Designed by FPE Engineering, this private dam holds a significant storage capacity of 67 acre-feet and boasts a surface area of 6.7 acres. With a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, the dam plays a vital role in managing water levels and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
Despite its importance, the D'Andrea Ranch Hole #6 Pond Dam is currently assessed as being in poor condition, with a high hazard potential. The last inspection conducted in July 2021 revealed the need for maintenance and improvements to ensure the dam's continued effectiveness. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, stakeholders must prioritize risk management measures and address any deficiencies to enhance the dam's overall safety and functionality.
As a key component of flood risk reduction infrastructure in Washoe County, Nevada, the D'Andrea Ranch Hole #6 Pond Dam requires ongoing attention and investment to maintain its critical role in protecting the local community. With state regulation and inspection in place, collaboration between stakeholders and regulatory agencies will be essential to address the dam's current condition and ensure its long-term sustainability in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource management challenges.
