Corders#1 is a federal-owned earth dam located in Lassen, California, with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond.
Built in 1954 by the USDA Forest Service, this structure stands at a height of 9 feet and spans 750 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes, including irrigation and maintaining a low hazard potential for the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Corders#1 has not been rated for condition assessment and has not been inspected since August 2008. With an inspection frequency of 10 years, there is a need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this water resource infrastructure. The risk assessment for this dam is moderate, indicating the importance of implementing risk management measures to mitigate any potential hazards and ensure the continued effectiveness of the structure in the face of changing climate conditions. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Corders#1 presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of water management, infrastructure maintenance, and climate resilience in the context of federal-owned dams like this one.
