Completed in 1975 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control or water supply. With a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet and a significant hazard potential, Fisk Pond Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Fulton County.
Despite its important function, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Available," indicating potential risks that need to be addressed. The spillway of Fisk Pond Dam is uncontrolled, with a width of 30 feet, and the outlet gates are also uncontrolled. The dam's drainage area is 0.35 square miles, with a maximum discharge capacity of 344 cubic feet per second. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of Fisk Pond Dam will be essential to ensure its continued effectiveness in managing water flow and reducing flooding risks in the region.
