East Lake Dam, located in Salem County, New Jersey, serves as a vital recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Standing at a height of 11 feet and stretching 550 feet in length, this concrete dam holds a normal storage capacity of 72 acre-feet across its 25-acre surface area. The dam overlooks Salem Creek and plays a significant role in the local drainage area of 13.7 square miles.
Despite its recreational significance, East Lake Dam's condition assessment has been deemed poor, with a significant hazard potential. The last inspection conducted in August 2020 highlighted the need for improvement and regular maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community. With a designated inspection frequency of 2, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures require attention to align with safety guidelines and mitigate potential risks. Further updates and enhancements are essential to uphold the dam's structural integrity and safeguard against any potential emergencies.
