Summary
With a dam height of 23 feet and a length of 527 feet, it has a storage capacity of 176 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres. The pond serves as a recreational area and habitat for various wildlife species, contributing to the conservation efforts in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Robertson Pond has a moderate risk assessment rating due to its location near the TR-Luxapallila River. The spillway, with a width of 30 feet, is uncontrolled, and the pond has a maximum discharge capacity of 210 cfs. While the pond is not currently regulated by the state or federal agencies, it plays a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem and providing a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy.
Overall, Robertson Pond stands as a testament to the importance of private conservation efforts in maintaining water resources and supporting biodiversity. As a fish and wildlife pond, it serves as a valuable asset to the community, offering both recreational opportunities and ecological benefits. Its design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service showcase a commitment to sustainable water management practices, making it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
