Little Juniper, also known as Little Juniper Reservoir, is a privately owned dam located in Modoc County, California. Built in 1926, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 22 feet and serves as a crucial flood risk reduction structure along L Juniper Creek. With a storage capacity of 1370 acre-feet and a surface area of 160 acres, the dam plays a significant role in irrigation and water supply in the region.
Managed and regulated by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and Safety of Dams, Little Juniper Dam has been deemed to have a significant hazard potential. However, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 was reported as satisfactory, ensuring its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks and providing essential water resources to the surrounding community. The dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last one taking place in October 2020, to ensure its structural integrity and safety measures are up to standard.
In the event of emergencies, it remains unclear if an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been prepared for Little Juniper Dam. Nevertheless, with its strategic location and vital role in flood risk reduction and water supply, the dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources and climate challenges in the region, underlining its importance for both environmental enthusiasts and local communities reliant on its services.
