Dundee, also known as Dundee Lake Dam, is a private dam located in Garfield, New Jersey, on the Passaic River. Built in 1854, this masonry dam serves primarily for hydroelectric and water supply purposes, with a storage capacity of 3,584 acre-feet and a surface area of 224 acres. The dam stands at a height of 16 feet and stretches 545 feet in length, making it a significant structure in the area.

Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Dundee Dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While its condition assessment is not available, the dam undergoes inspections every three years to ensure its safety and integrity. The spillway, with a width of 450 feet, is uncontrolled, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 45,000 cubic feet per second.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Dundee Dam a fascinating structure due to its historical significance, hydroelectric capabilities, and impact on the Passaic River ecosystem. With its unique design and purpose, Dundee serves as a vital component in the region's water management infrastructure, highlighting the intersection of human engineering with natural resources.
