Rgs Pond B2 Dam dam
Rgs Pond B2 Dam
Rgs Pond B2 Dam, located in Clark County, Nevada, is a public utility structure designed by Stanley Consultants Inc. 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.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Rgs Pond B2 Dam
Where does the data for Rgs Pond B2 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
