Summary
Built in 1977 for recreational purposes, this earth dam spans 950 feet with a height of 15 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-MANOR KILL river, in Schoharie County, New York, and is regulated by the NYS DEC.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses a high risk due to its age and lack of recent assessments. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, the regulatory agencies have confirmed that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards. The surrounding area offers 6 acres of surface area for recreational activities, making it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
As stakeholders continue to monitor the Rocco Andriello Dam, its risk assessment and management measures are crucial in ensuring the safety of the community and the sustainability of the water resource. With its scenic location and historical significance, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible dam construction and maintenance in preserving our natural landscapes for future generations.

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.
