Specialists from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Technical Service Center recently conducted a Comprehensive Review civil examination of Prosser Creek Dam in Nevada County, Calif. This in‑depth inspection is performed every eight years on all high‑hazard facilities.
The team examined the spillway and then descended more than 120 feet inside the dam to inspect critical mechanical systems. From checking packing glands to evaluating the overall condition of the structure, these detailed reviews help engineers catch potential issues early and ensure the dam continues to operate safely and reliably.
Inspections like this are essential to protecting our infrastructure, our communities, and our water resources.
