Humidity
C. Rodgers and completed in 1962. This private earth dam on Bull Creek stands at a height of 8 feet and spans 330 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreational use, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation in the Ford Environs area.
Despite being unregulated by the state and having a low hazard potential, Rodgers Pond Dam has not undergone recent inspections or condition assessments, with its last recorded inspection dating back to 1988. The dam's spillway, outlet gates, and uncontrolled design raise concerns regarding its effectiveness in managing water flow. With a moderate risk assessment rating, there is a need for increased attention to the maintenance and safety of this structure to prevent potential hazards and ensure its long-term functionality for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
