The Red Bluff Diversion, located in Tehama County, California, is a federal irrigation structure on the Sacramento River managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. Constructed in 1963, this concrete dam stands at 52 feet tall and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. With a storage capacity of 4,170 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 100,000 cubic feet per second, the Red Bluff Diversion plays a crucial role in water management in the region.

Despite its low hazard potential, the Red Bluff Diversion is considered to have a very high risk, with a risk assessment ranking of 1. The dam has not been inspected since April 2000, and its condition assessment is currently not available. While the structure's Emergency Action Plan status and risk management measures are also unknown, its controlled spillway with a width of 660 feet indicates some level of preparedness for managing water flow during emergencies. Given its significance in irrigation and water resource management, it is imperative that the Red Bluff Diversion undergoes regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
