Completed in 1900, this earth dam stands at 31 feet high and spans a length of 360 feet, serving primarily for recreational purposes. Situated on Crystal Pond Brook, the dam has a normal storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4 acres within a drainage area of 0.25 square miles.
With a significant hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of December 2016, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 8 feet and a max discharge capacity of 152 cubic feet per second. Maintained by the state regulatory agency DEEP, the dam undergoes inspection every 7 years, with the last inspection conducted in December 2016. Although the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, no emergency action plan or inundation maps have been prepared for the dam, highlighting the need for improved risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
