Indian Ole, also known as Mountain Meadows Reservoir, is a privately-owned dam in Clear Creek, California. Built in 1924, this buttress-type structure stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 24,800 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for water supply, serving both hydroelectric and water supply needs in the region.
Managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and regulated by the Safety of Dams agency, Indian Ole plays a crucial role in providing water resources to the surrounding communities. With a satisfactory condition assessment and high hazard potential, regular inspections are conducted to ensure its safety and functionality. In case of emergencies, an emergency action plan (EAP) is in place to guide response and mitigate risks.
Situated on Hamilton Creek and surrounded by lush meadows, Indian Ole is a vital infrastructure for water resource management in Lassen County. Its historical significance and functional design make it a key component in the region's water supply infrastructure, highlighting the intersection of engineering, environment, and climate resilience in sustaining water resources for future generations.
