Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 10 feet and stretching 400 feet in length, creates a reservoir with a storage capacity of 144 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Little Limestone Creek and is managed by private owners, with state jurisdiction but no state regulation.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not yet assessed for condition, Livingston Pond Dam poses a moderate risk due to its age and lack of recent inspections. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a drainage area of 0 square miles. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and is currently in a not rated condition, its risk management measures are unknown.
Overall, Livingston Pond Dam serves as a recreational resource in the area, offering a surface area of 20 acres for leisure activities. While the dam is not owned or funded by any federal agency, its location and design make it an important structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and assess for potential risks and impacts on the surrounding environment.

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.
