Stouffer #1, also known as Baseline Lakes, is a local government-owned irrigation dam located in Adams County, Colorado. Completed in 1906, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9 feet. It has a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of irrigation.

Despite its low hazard potential, Stouffer #1 has an unsatisfactory condition assessment as of September 2013. The dam has a maximum discharge of 82 cfs and a spillway width of 8 feet. With a risk assessment rating of High (2), it is imperative that the necessary risk management measures are implemented to ensure the safety and integrity of this structure.

Given its historical significance and environmental impact on the South Platte River watershed, Stouffer #1 serves as a critical component of the local irrigation infrastructure. Continued inspection and maintenance efforts are essential to mitigate any potential risks and safeguard the surrounding communities and ecosystems from the consequences of a dam failure.
