With a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 0.13 square miles, the Framton Farms -Site 2 Dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, this dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The absence of inspection frequency and emergency action plans raises concerns about the overall preparedness and risk management measures in place for this structure. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, continued monitoring and maintenance of the Framton Farms -Site 2 Dam are essential for safeguarding the community and environment against potential hazards.
