Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet with a length of 1485 feet, providing storage of 88 acre-feet of water for the region. Despite being unlisted or unknown, the foundations of this dam support its structural integrity, as evidenced by the lack of hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating of 2.
Although there are no spillways or locks associated with the dam, it serves its primary purpose efficiently with a normal storage capacity of 32 acre-feet. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but inspections are carried out periodically to ensure its reliability and functionality. While the risk assessment is deemed high, the dam has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) yet, indicating the need for ongoing risk management measures to mitigate any potential hazards.
Walker Lake No 3 Dam stands as a vital water resource infrastructure in the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for sustainable water supply management. With its strategic location and historical significance dating back to the 1960s, this dam serves as a reminder of the critical role that water resources and climate enthusiasts play in ensuring the safety and efficiency of our water supply systems.

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.
