The earth dam, standing at 9 feet high with a hydraulic height of 7 feet, serves the primary purpose of providing water storage for the area. With a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet, the pond covers a surface area of 5 acres and has a drainage area of 1 square mile.
The dam, made of earth with buttress and stone core types, spans 700 feet in length and features an uncontrolled spillway 20 feet wide. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the pond undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. With a maximum discharge capacity of 188 cubic feet per second, Jack Anderson Pond plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region and contributes to the overall climate resilience of the area.
