Summary
The earth dam, with a height of 14 feet and a length of 3520 feet, serves a primary purpose of "Other" and holds a normal storage capacity of 188 acre-feet. Situated on the Muddy River-OS, the dam is regulated by the Nevada Division of Water Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its fair condition and low hazard potential.
Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the dam presents a high risk due to its proximity to populated areas. The risk assessment categorizes it as a level 2 risk, prompting the need for emergency action plans and ongoing risk management measures. The last inspection in April 2016 revealed the dam's fair condition, with minor modifications made in 2002 to enhance its hydraulic and structural integrity. With no spillway and a lack of outlet gates, the dam's management and operation focus on maintaining its functionality and mitigating potential risks to downstream communities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the vital role of dams like Rgs Pond C1 in water management and flood control is essential. By staying informed about the dam's construction, purpose, and risk profile, enthusiasts can advocate for sustainable water resource management practices and contribute to the protection of communities and ecosystems dependent on this critical infrastructure.

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.
