Summary
The dam has a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 49 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.5 acres. The dam is of moderate risk, with an undetermined hazard potential and a condition assessment that has not been rated.
Despite being unregulated by the state and having no state inspection or enforcement, Gary Walden Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam serves as a key structure for controlling the flow of water and ensuring the safety of surrounding areas. The dam's associated structures remain unlisted, and the last inspection date, condition assessment date, and emergency action plan details are currently unavailable.
While the specific purposes of the dam are not listed, its presence contributes to the overall water infrastructure of the region. The dam's risk assessment of moderate indicates a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the details of dams like Gary Walden Pond Dam is essential for ensuring the sustainable management of water resources and the resilience of communities in the face of changing climatic conditions.

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.
