Owned privately by the Newberry family, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet with a hydraulic height of 27 feet, creating a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet for water. The dam's primary purpose is irrigation, with a normal storage capacity of 47 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres.
While Newberry Irrigation Pond Dam # 1 is not state-regulated, it is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in February 2003. The dam has a low hazard potential and is rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. With a moderate risk level, the dam has no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place and has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) date. Despite these factors, the dam continues to play a crucial role in the local water resource management, supporting irrigation activities in the region.
