Located in Savage, Minnesota, Jeffers Fish Pond is a privately owned Earth dam that was completed in 1970 by the USDA NRCS. The primary purpose of this structure is to serve as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, offering a habitat for aquatic life in the area. With a dam height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 613 acre-feet, this pond plays a crucial role in maintaining the local ecosystem.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Jeffers Fish Pond has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 40 feet, helps regulate water levels in the pond. Despite not being state-regulated or inspected, the pond continues to provide valuable environmental benefits to the region, including flood control and wildlife conservation.
Situated in Scott County, Minnesota, Jeffers Fish Pond is part of the TR-PIKES LAKE watershed and falls under the jurisdiction of the St. Paul District. While the pond has not been rated for its condition, it remains a vital resource for the community and reflects the importance of private initiatives in managing water resources and promoting biodiversity.
