Built in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and stretches for 1025 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 179 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is of the uncontrolled type, and its hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.
Despite being in a state-jurisdiction area, East Oglesby Pond Dam is not regulated or permitted by the state. However, it undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in October 2004. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has yet to have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared. With its serene surroundings and important recreational purpose, this dam serves as a vital water resource for the community while also posing manageable risks that are carefully monitored.
