Harcey Pond, located in Troy, Minnesota, is a private water resource managed by the USDA NRCS. Built in 1975 for flood risk reduction purposes, the earth dam stands at 31 feet high and spans 245 feet in length. The pond has a storage capacity of 17 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 1 acre, serving as a crucial infrastructure in the Trout Run Offstream watershed.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Harcey Pond has not been rated for its condition assessment. The uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates suggest a simplistic design aimed at managing moderate discharge levels of up to 385 cubic feet per second. The pond's association with the St. Paul District and its location in Winona County add to its significance as a key flood risk reduction structure in the region.

While Harcey Pond may not be regularly inspected or have an emergency action plan in place, its strategic positioning and purpose underscore its importance in mitigating flood risks in the area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and advocating for the maintenance and upkeep of such infrastructure is crucial to ensure the continued protection of communities and ecosystems in the Trout Run Offstream watershed.
