This earth dam, standing at 32 feet in height and 370 feet in length, is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or hydroelectric power generation. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 65 feet, allowing for the release of excess water during periods of high inflow.
Despite being classified as having a moderate risk level, with a hazard potential that is not available, Reveille Peak Ranch Dam has not been given a condition assessment rating. The dam underwent structural modifications in 2007, and is equipped with two uncontrolled outlet gates. The last inspection of the dam took place in August 2014, with the condition assessment date remaining unknown. While the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of state agencies for regulation or enforcement, it is subject to state permitting and inspection requirements.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find the unique design and purpose of Reveille Peak Ranch Dam intriguing, as it serves as a private water storage facility in a scenic location. The dam's contribution to water management in the region, along with its relatively low risk level and uncontrolled spillway system, offer a fascinating case study for those interested in the intersection of water infrastructure, climate resilience, and regulatory oversight.
