Summary
Standing at a structural height of 30 feet and spanning 260 feet in length, this buttress-style dam boasts a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. With a surface area of 3.75 acres and a normal storage level of 46 feet, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, highlighting the importance of regular inspections. The last recorded inspection took place in July 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," there are currently no emergency action plans in place for this structure, raising potential concerns for future management and response to unforeseen events.
Overall, Tree Farm Pond Dam serves as an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, offering insights into private dam ownership and risk management practices. With its unique design features and moderate risk profile, this dam presents a compelling opportunity for further research and analysis in the realm of dam safety and environmental conservation.

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.
