This earth dam, with a length of 120 feet and a spillway width of 10 feet, serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other," demonstrating its unique role in water resource management. Despite having no designated year of completion or specific dam volume, Roberts Pond Dam's condition assessment in 2014 deemed it as "Satisfactory," although it poses a significant hazard potential.
The dam's last inspection in May 2014 revealed its satisfactory condition, with a recommended inspection frequency of every five years. With a hazard potential classified as significant, a proper emergency action plan (EAP) should be prepared and regularly updated to ensure effective risk management measures. Although the dam lacks inundation maps and designated risk assessments, its location in Fairfield County underlines the importance of monitoring its maintenance to mitigate any potential threats to the local environment and community. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate should keep an eye on Roberts Pond Dam's developments to promote sustainable practices and safeguard against any unforeseen risks.
