Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at 41 feet tall and has a storage capacity of 56.6 acre-feet, serving purposes such as flood risk reduction. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment categorizes it as high, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures.
With a structural height of 33 feet and a length of 1700 feet, Mooney Basin Saf Process Pond plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, with a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. While the dam lacks a spillway, it undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and effectiveness. The Congressional District 04 representative, Steven Horsford, oversees this structure, highlighting the significance of water resource management in the region.
Overall, Mooney Basin Saf Process Pond serves as a vital component of water resource infrastructure in Nevada, showcasing the intersection of private ownership, state regulation, and environmental stewardship. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like this play a crucial role in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against potential risks and hazards.

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.
