This earth dam rises 13 feet high and spans 210 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet for recreational use. With a spillway type labeled as "uncontrolled" and uncontrolled outlet gates, the dam's hazard potential is considered low, and its condition assessment remains unrated.
Despite not being state-regulated, Upper Bond Lake Dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last one dated back to September 2018. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, indicating a potential for hazards that require appropriate management measures. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place or updated emergency contacts, its risk level suggests the need for proactive monitoring and safety measures to ensure the surrounding area remains protected from potential risks associated with the dam's operations. As an integral part of the local water resource and climate landscape, Upper Bond Lake Dam serves as a recreational haven with a unique blend of natural beauty and engineered infrastructure.
