Summary
Constructed in 1953 on the ICHAWAYNOCHAWAY CREEK, this earth dam stands at 16 feet tall and spans 950 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 490 acre-feet, the pond serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering visitors an area of 225 acres for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating.
Despite its low hazard potential, Cordrays Mill Pond has a moderate risk assessment due to its age and the lack of recent condition assessments. The last inspection of the dam took place in 1990 and was rated as "Not Rated." While the dam is currently unregulated by the state, it does undergo periodic inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and there are no outlet gates in place, indicating a reliance on natural water flow management.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Cordrays Mill Pond presents an opportunity to explore a historic dam structure in a picturesque natural setting. As efforts to modernize and ensure the safety of aging infrastructure continue, monitoring the condition and risk assessment of dams like Cordrays Mill Pond is crucial to maintain public safety and preserve the surrounding ecosystem. Embracing sustainable practices and responsible management of water resources are essential in protecting these valuable assets for future generations to enjoy.

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.
