This private dam stands at a height of 11 feet and has a length of 1900 feet, with a storage capacity of 264 acre-feet. The dam is primarily an earth dam with a buttress core type, designed to withstand the flow of TR-LOS OLMOS CREEK.
Although the dam does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate for water release. Despite not being state-regulated, the dam undergoes regular inspections and has been deemed to have a high risk potential. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and there is no available emergency action plan for the structure. As a key feature in the region's water management system, Martinena Ranch Lake Dam remains a critical infrastructure for local water resources and climate enthusiasts to monitor and support.
