Built in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans 500 feet in length, creating a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. The dam regulates the flow of the South Run TR river and has a controlled spillway with a width of 8 feet to manage a maximum discharge of 170 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential, Willow Pond Dam is classified as having a very high risk due to its condition assessment not being available. Inspected every 4 years by the US Air Force, this dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) meeting guidelines in place. In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency contacts and inundation maps need updating. With a congressman representative of Andy Kim (D), the future of Willow Pond Dam's risk management measures remains uncertain as it continues to be a vital structure for water resource management in the area.
