This structure, managed by the CENTURY-WEST design team, serves primarily for irrigation purposes and was completed in 1986. With a dam height of 41 feet and a storage capacity of 132 acre-feet, this earth dam plays a crucial role in regulating wastewater effluent in the area.
The dam's hazard potential is classified as high, but its condition assessment as of October 2020 was deemed satisfactory. It features a needle outlet gate and has a maximum discharge capacity of 162.5 cubic feet per second. Despite being state-regulated and inspected, the associated risk management measures, such as emergency action plans and inundation maps, are currently unavailable.
Located within the jurisdiction of the Oregon Water Resources Department, Younglife Waste A (Lower) stands as a critical infrastructure for water management in the region. Its presence not only supports irrigation activities but also underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
