10860, is a privately owned flood risk reduction structure located in Germantown, Montgomery County, Maryland. Designed by JMT-Johnson, Mirmiran, and Thompson, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a length of 200 feet. Completed in 1982, the pond has a storage capacity of 10.5 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
With a high hazard potential, Rolling Hills SWM Pond is regularly inspected by the Maryland Dam Safety agency to ensure its structural integrity. The latest inspection conducted on March 11, 2022, found the dam to be in satisfactory condition. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the pond does not currently have an Emergency Action Plan in place, indicating a need for further risk management measures.
Located along Gunners Branch-TR, this stormwater management pond plays a crucial role in mitigating flooding in the area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and support the maintenance and upkeep of such structures to ensure the safety and well-being of the surrounding community and environment.
