Summary
The dam, completed in 1982, serves a primary purpose not specified in the data, with a height of 17 feet and a storage capacity of 184 acre-feet. The dam is an earth-type structure with a rockfill core and soil foundation, standing at a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a structural height of 17 feet.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam underwent modifications in 2007 to enhance its hydraulic and structural integrity. The last inspection in April 2016 revealed that the dam meets state regulatory standards, with inspection frequency set at every three years. The dam's risk assessment indicates a high risk level of 2, prompting the need for effective risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources.
With no spillway and outlet gates, Rgs Pond B2 Dam poses minimal risk of flooding and is not under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam's location near Muddy River-OS underscores its importance in water resource management for the region. As climate change impacts water availability and quality, monitoring and maintaining infrastructure like Rgs Pond B2 Dam becomes crucial for sustainable water resource management in Nevada.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
