Spring Creek is a privately owned irrigation structure located in Camas, Idaho, constructed in 1918 by AandE and USDA NRCS. This earth dam, standing at a height of 16.5 feet, serves the primary purpose of irrigation and has a normal storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. The dam spans 900 feet in length and covers a surface area of 45 acres, with a drainage area of 4.7 square miles.

Managed by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Spring Creek is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced upon by state authorities. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam poses a manageable level of risk and does not require immediate risk management measures.

The Northeast Fork of Spring Creek is the primary source of water for this structure, with a maximum discharge capacity of 10 cubic feet per second. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the dam is predominantly made of earth and stone materials, resting on rock and soil foundations. Overall, Spring Creek serves as a vital water resource for the agricultural community in the region, contributing to the irrigation needs of the area while maintaining a sustainable water management system.
