Summary
Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at 12 feet tall and stretches 1200 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Corder Log Pond is regulated by various state agencies including OWRD, ensuring that it meets all safety and inspection requirements.
The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and has a maximum discharge of 3 cubic feet per second. Its primary purpose is listed as 'Other,' indicating its versatile role in water resource management in the region. The structure has not been rated for condition assessment, but it undergoes inspections every 6 years to maintain its integrity. With its strategic location and capacity, Corder Log Pond plays a vital role in water storage and management efforts, contributing to the overall sustainability of the local ecosystem and water supply.
As a part of the Portland District, Corder Log Pond remains a significant feature in the water infrastructure of Douglas County, Oregon. With its historical significance dating back to the mid-20th century, this dam continues to play a key role in regulating water flow and providing storage for agricultural and environmental needs. Its location on Judd Creek underscores its importance in the regional water system, highlighting the crucial intersection of human activity and natural resources in the area.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
