Summary
Completed in 1978, this earth dam stands at a height of 36 feet and spans 1020 feet, with a storage capacity of 341 acre-feet and a normal storage of 44 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk due to its critical role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-110 features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate for water release. While the dam has not been inspected since January 1980, it is designed to undergo inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. As the primary purpose of this dam is flood risk reduction, it plays a crucial role in mitigating the impact of heavy rainfall and protecting the local community of Davis from potential flooding events.
With its stone core and soil foundation, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-110 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns and precipitation levels, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like this one becomes increasingly critical to safeguarding communities and the environment from the threats of flooding and water scarcity.

Dam Data Reference
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.
