Eagle Rock is a hydroelectric dam located in Los Angeles, California, with a primary purpose of providing hydroelectric power and water supply. Completed in 1953, this Earth dam stands at a height of 113 feet and has a storage capacity of 254 acre-feet. Despite being an offstream structure, Eagle Rock plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting the region's energy needs.
Managed by the local government, Eagle Rock is regulated by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for safety compliance. The dam has a high hazard potential but is currently assessed to be in satisfactory condition. Regular inspections ensure its structural integrity, with the last assessment conducted in March 2021. In case of emergencies, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is in place, last revised in February 2021, to guide response and communication protocols.
With its strategic location and vital role in water resource management, Eagle Rock serves as a key infrastructure for both hydroelectric power generation and water supply in the Los Angeles area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and energy needs, the proper maintenance and regulation of dams like Eagle Rock are essential to ensuring sustainable and reliable water resources for the region's growing population.
