This private dam on Edgewood Creek serves multiple purposes, including irrigation, fire protection, stock watering, flood risk reduction, and creating a small fish pond. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 140 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and a normal storage of 15 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 2 acres.
Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition and requires regular inspections to ensure safety. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 1 foot, and there is one slide (sluice gate) outlet gate. The dam is regulated by the Nevada DWR and falls under state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam may benefit from improved risk management measures to address its condition and potential hazards.
