With a dam height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, this earth dam on the TR-PEARL RIVER serves as a low-hazard waterbody with a moderate risk assessment. The spillway, measuring 25 feet wide, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 345 cubic feet per second.
Despite being privately owned, Copeland Pond offers opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching. The pond covers an area of 500 feet in length and is surrounded by natural stone core structures and soil foundations. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it is important to note that the pond's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not detailed in the available data, suggesting a need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and sustainability of this valuable water resource for future generations.
