Stampede is a federal-owned dam located in Sierra, California, along the Little Truckee River. Built in 1970 by the Bureau of Reclamation, it stands at a height of 226 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with additional benefits for recreation and water supply. The dam has a storage capacity of 280,100 acre-feet and a surface area of 3,885 acres, making it a significant water resource in the region.

With a spillway width of 15 feet and a high hazard potential, Stampede dam is closely monitored by the Bureau of Reclamation for safety and regulatory purposes. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Available," indicating a need for further evaluation. The risk assessment for Stampede is moderate, highlighting the importance of ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both water resource and climate enthusiasts.

In the event of an emergency, Stampede may pose a significant risk to downstream areas, making it crucial for the Bureau of Reclamation to have an Emergency Action Plan in place. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and its inspection frequency is regular, the lack of available condition assessment data underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and maintenance to prevent potential risks associated with its operation. Stampede dam remains a vital component of California's water infrastructure, serving as a key resource for irrigation, recreation, and water supply in the region.
