This private earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a length of 425 feet, providing a surface area of 10.28 acres. With a maximum storage capacity of 98 acre-feet and a normal storage of 70 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Strouse's Little Pine Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment since its last inspection in December 1980. The dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, with no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement measures in place. While the dam currently meets recreational purposes, there is a lack of updated emergency action plans and risk management measures, raising concerns about potential safety and maintenance protocols in the future. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find this unique dam structure an intriguing subject for further study and monitoring, especially given its historical significance and potential environmental impacts in the region.
