Malar Dam, located in Ridgefield, Washington, is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for irrigation purposes. Completed in 1955, this dam stands at a hydraulic height of 40 feet and a structural height of 35 feet, with a length of 335 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 42 acre-feet, serving the surrounding area with water from the Tr-Gee Creek.

Despite its low hazard potential, Malar Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Washington Dept of Ecology, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has not undergone a recent inspection. While there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam serves a vital role in maintaining water resources for agricultural purposes in the region.

In the event of an emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status is unknown, and there are no inundation maps prepared. While the dam poses a low risk, the lack of recent assessments and emergency preparedness measures may warrant further attention to ensure the safety and reliability of Malar Dam for both water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
