This private dam, completed in 1981, stands at a height of 10 feet and has a length of 60 feet, providing a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 46 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 140 cubic feet per second, the dam boasts an uncontrolled spillway type, contributing to its low hazard potential.
Managed by the NYS DEC, this Earth-type dam offers a surface area of 5 acres and a drainage area of 0.42 square miles. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the Oakridge Land & Property Corp Dam has not been formally rated for its condition assessment. Though last inspected in 2010, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unreported. As a hub for outdoor enthusiasts and climate advocates, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and the role of private owners in maintaining safe recreational infrastructure.
