Summary
Completed in 1969, this dam serves as a vital water supply source with a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The dam stands at a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 14 feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
Despite being privately owned, Hawg Pond Dam is not regulated by the state and has a low hazard potential. With a surface area of 5.7 acres and a drainage area of 0.11 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Hempstead County. Its purpose as a water supply facility underscores its importance in sustaining the local ecosystem and supporting agricultural activities in the region.
While not currently rated for its condition, Hawg Pond Dam continues to provide reliable water storage and management capabilities. As a rockfill structure, it exemplifies the engineering ingenuity employed to ensure water sustainability in the face of changing climate patterns. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the role of Hawg Pond Dam in maintaining a stable water supply for the community while also recognizing the need for ongoing assessment and monitoring of its condition to ensure its long-term effectiveness.

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.
