This earth dam, with a height of 24 feet and a hydraulic height of 17 feet, spans a length of 1005 feet and boasts a storage capacity of 322 acre-feet. Situated on Smith Branch, this dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural activities in the region.
Despite being privately owned, the Redfield Farms, INC. Irrigation Pond Dam is subject to state jurisdiction and inspections. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, this structure has not been rated for its condition. The last inspection was conducted in 1993, highlighting the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of the dam. In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan status and inundation maps remain unspecified, underscoring the importance of preparedness and risk management measures for safeguarding water resources and communities downstream.
