East Logan Ridge Trail Dam, also known as Upper Logan Ridge Trail Dam, is a local government-owned structure located in Washoe County, Nevada, near the city of Mogul. Completed in 2003, this earth-type dam stands at 64 feet high and spans 500 feet in length, with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Truckee River. Designed by Summit Engineering Corporation, the dam has a hydraulic height of 60 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 51 acre-feet.
With a hazard potential rated as high and a fair condition assessment as of June 2021, East Logan Ridge Trail Dam is regularly inspected by the Nevada Department of Water Resources to ensure its structural integrity. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet and one uncontrolled outlet gate. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not had any associated emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared, highlighting the potential need for further risk management measures in the future.
East Logan Ridge Trail Dam serves as a critical infrastructure for flood risk management in the region, playing a vital role in protecting surrounding areas from potential inundation. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to continue monitoring the condition of this dam and advocating for comprehensive risk management strategies to ensure the safety and resilience of the community in the face of changing environmental conditions.
