Spring Creek Debris Dam is an earthfill dam on Spring Creek a tributary of the Sacramento River in Shasta County in the U.S. state of California. Completed in 1963 the dam maintained by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation serves primarily to collect severe acid mine drainage stemming from the Iron Mountain Mine. The dam forms the Spring Creek Reservoir less than 1 mile (1.6 km) long. Spring Creek and South Fork Spring Creek flow into the reservoir from a 16-square-mile (41 km2) watershed.
