Delaubenfelds Dam, located in Corvallis, Oregon, was completed in 1970 and is primarily used for recreation purposes. This private dam, owned by the USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 480 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. The dam sits on Tr- Starr Creek and is classified as an earth dam with an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have moderate risk due to its condition assessment being listed as "Not Available." While the dam has not been inspected recently and emergency preparedness information is lacking, its risk management measures are not specified. With a drainage area of 0.75 square miles and a maximum discharge of 144 cubic feet per second, the dam serves as a vital structure in the region's water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find P.M. Delaubenfelds Dam to be a fascinating case study in the intersection of infrastructure, recreation, and environmental stewardship in the Pacific Northwest.
