Summary
Completed in 1934, this dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans 190 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Kendall Pond Dam is for recreation, offering a serene location for water enthusiasts to enjoy.
Managed by the NHDES Dam Bureau, Kendall Pond Dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as being in fair condition as of the last assessment in 2011. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam is subject to regular inspections every 6 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. In the event of an emergency, the dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet to manage excess water flow.
Situated in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, Kendall Pond Dam serves as a valuable water resource for the local community while also providing an opportunity for recreational activities. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Kendall Pond Dam play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our natural environment.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
