Everly is a federal irrigation dam located in Modoc, California, managed by the USDA Forest Service. Built in 1980, this Earth dam stands at a height of 9 feet and has a storage capacity of 594 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is irrigation, serving the surrounding area with water from a drainage area of 9.2 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential, Everly is categorized as having a very high risk due to its critical role in providing water for agricultural purposes. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 15 feet and outlet gates consisting of slide (sluice gate) mechanisms. Its last inspection was conducted in August 2010 with a frequency of 10 years.
With its crucial role in water resource management and irrigation in the region, Everly remains a significant infrastructure under the oversight of the USDA Forest Service. Its risk assessment highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of this essential water resource for the community.
