Rindge Dam

This thin-arch concrete dam across Malibu Creek opened in 1924 and is associated with landowner **May Knight Rindge**. Sediment filled the reservoir far faster than intended; by the mid-20th century the dam had become inoperable, and it was later decommissioned. The structure is still standing and is now better known as a barrier to sediment transport and fish movement than as a water-supply work. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindge_Dam)) - **Unique attribute:** it is a 100-foot concrete thin-arch dam in a dramatic canyon setting. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindge_Dam)) - **Plans to destroy it:** dam-removal planning has been active for years; California Trout and Surfrider both describe removal as a priority.
