Hansen Pond, also known as Iii-S4, is a private water resource nestled in Lake County, Minnesota, near the city of Two Harbors. Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans a length of 1016 feet. The pond serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a normal storage capacity of 13 acre-feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 62 acre-feet.
Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Hansen Pond is regulated and permitted by the state, with inspections conducted periodically to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition was assessed as satisfactory during the last inspection in August 2016. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the pond's risk management measures and emergency action plan are yet to be fully developed.
Located in the St. Paul District of the USACE, Hansen Pond boasts a scenic location along the Silver Creek-TR, offering a tranquil oasis for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and explore. As efforts continue to enhance its risk management strategies, Hansen Pond remains a valuable asset for the local community and a testament to responsible water resource management in Minnesota.
