The dam, standing at a height of 12 feet with a hydraulic height of 11 feet, has a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 1500 acres. Despite having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a high risk due to its age and condition, which is currently not rated.
Managed by a private owner, Streeter Pond Dam is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Massachusetts, ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The dam, located on a tributary of Asnebumskit Brook, plays a crucial role in providing water supply to the surrounding area. With no spillway and a risk assessment rating of 2 (high), it is important for officials and stakeholders to closely monitor and manage the dam to mitigate potential risks and ensure its continued functionality for the community.
