Reardan Sewage Lagoon dam
Reardan Sewage Lagoon
Reardan Sewage Lagoon, located in Reardan, Washington, was designed by Century West and completed in 2006. This sewage lagoon serves as a crucial infrastructure for the local government, with a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet and a surface area of 4.26 acres. The lagoon has a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 8 feet, making it an essential component of the region's wastewater management system.
Despite its importance, the Reardan Sewage Lagoon poses a high hazard potential, although its condition was assessed as fair during the last inspection in 2016. The lagoon is regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology, ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. As a key piece of infrastructure in Lincoln County, Washington, the Reardan Sewage Lagoon plays a vital role in protecting water resources and managing wastewater in the area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the significance of the Reardan Sewage Lagoon in maintaining water quality and environmental sustainability in the region. With its state-regulated status and high hazard potential, this lagoon serves as a reminder of the importance of proper wastewater treatment and management practices in safeguarding our water resources for future generations.
Dam data reference
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 Reardan Sewage Lagoon
Where does the data for Reardan Sewage Lagoon 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 High 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.
