Spaulding 3, located in Modoc, California, is a federal-owned Earth dam completed in 1965 with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. This structure is managed by the Forest Service and has a height of 9 feet and a length of 1240 feet, providing a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this dam is classified as not rated in terms of condition assessment.

Despite not being state regulated, Spaulding 3 is inspected every 10 years, with the last inspection conducted in September 2010. The dam features a controlled spillway type with a width of 10 feet and slide gates for outlet control. While the structure's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not specified, its risk assessment ranking suggests a need for strategic monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this critical water resource infrastructure for fish and wildlife conservation in the region.
