Springfeild Bird Haven, a privately-owned water resource in Bingham, Idaho, serves as a critical habitat for various bird species. The dam, primarily used for purposes other than flood control or hydropower, stands at a height of 13 feet with a hydraulic height of 10 feet. The structure, built in Earth core type, spans a length of 663.95 feet and holds a storage capacity of 239 acre-feet.
