The Wetlands At Kiley Ranch Dam, also known as Parcel Iic At Kiley Ranch, is a privately owned wetland area located in Sparks, Nevada. This wetland serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction and providing a habitat for fish and wildlife. The dam, primarily designed for flood risk reduction, is an earth dam with a height of 10 feet and a hydraulic height of 7 feet.
Located along the Truckee River, the Wetlands At Kiley Ranch Dam covers a surface area of 80 acres with a drainage area of 1.3 square miles. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. However, the dam is currently in poor condition with a significant hazard potential, indicating the need for maintenance and improvements to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction and wildlife conservation efforts.
Despite its current condition, the Wetlands At Kiley Ranch Dam remains a valuable asset for the local ecosystem and flood management in the Washoe County area. With proper maintenance and management, this wetland area can continue to serve its dual purpose of supporting wildlife while reducing flood risks along the Truckee River.
