Completed in 1962, this private-owned structure stands at a height of 20 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 160 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the dam has not been subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement.
The dam, situated on the Muddy Fork-TR river, has a surface area of 17 acres and a drainage area of 0.1 square miles. Despite its lack of state regulatory oversight, the dam provides essential flood control and water storage benefits to the surrounding area. With a design capable of handling a maximum discharge of 1000 cubic feet per second, Mill Pond Dam No 2 remains a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in Howard County.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," its low hazard potential suggests that it poses minimal risk to the surrounding community. While it lacks a formal Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, the dam's construction and design have enabled it to fulfill its primary purpose effectively. As a key component of water resource management in the region, Mill Pond Dam No 2 stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring critical infrastructure for climate and water resource enthusiasts.
