Summary
Built in 1982 by Stanley Consultants Inc., this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet. Although primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
With a fair condition assessment and low hazard potential, Rgs Pond B3 Dam has been regularly inspected and maintained by Nevada DWR to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its relatively small size, this dam has a high risk assessment rating of 2, indicating the importance of effective risk management measures. The dam does not have a spillway and is not associated with any outlet gates, making it unique in its design and function.
Overall, Rgs Pond B3 Dam serves as a key component of the water infrastructure in the Muddy River-OS watershed. Its location in the city of Arrowhead, Nevada, highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to mitigate potential risks and ensure the sustainable management of water resources in the region.

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.
