The Seven Oaks Dam is located on the Santa Ana River, 4 miles northeast of Redlands, California. It was constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers as a flood control dam. It cost $250 million dollars to construct and at the time of its completion in November 1999, it ranked as the 10th largest earthfill dam in the United States.
Construction of the Seven Oaks Dam began in August 1994. When it was completed, the height of the dam was 550 ft (168 m) and was over 2,200 ft (671 m) wide at its base. 43,000,000 yd³ (33,000,000 m³) of earth and rock were required to build it. The dam is designed to withstand a magnitude 8.0 earthquake and sits virtually on top of the San Andreas Fault.
