Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet, encompassing a dam length of 500 feet and a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the California Department of Water Resources and falls under the jurisdiction of the Safety of Dams program.
With a significant hazard potential, Corral has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of September 2017, with regular inspections conducted and a designated emergency action plan frequency of once a year. The dam's drainage area covers 0.77 square miles, serving as a vital water resource in Tehama County. Despite its modest size, Corral plays a crucial role in the local water infrastructure and contributes to the overall management of water resources in the region.
Under the representation of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, Corral's presence underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams in California to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the continued availability of water for agricultural and domestic use. As climate change impacts water resources, dams like Corral will be essential in managing water supply and mitigating risks associated with extreme weather events, highlighting the interconnected relationship between water resources and climate.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
