Despite being unregulated by the state, the De Frang Pooling Agreement poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 60 feet and outlet gates that are also uncontrolled. The structure has not been inspected recently, and its condition is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating that further assessment may be needed to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
Located in Wabasha County, Minnesota, the De Frang Pooling Agreement serves as a vital resource for fire protection and water storage in the area. While it operates without state oversight, its design and construction by the USDA NRCS ensure its reliability and functionality for the local community. As climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and assess the condition of such water resource structures to mitigate potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices in the region.
