Lake Panorama Dike, located in Vernon Township, New Jersey, is a privately owned earth dam that was completed in 1987 for recreational purposes.
With a height of 15 feet and a length of 80 feet, this dam helps create a serene 15-acre lake for residents and visitors to enjoy. However, despite its important role in providing recreational opportunities, the dam's condition assessment is poor and it has a high hazard potential.
The dam, situated on the Wallkill River-TR, is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and undergoes regular inspections every two years. The last inspection in 2012 revealed the poor condition of the structure, prompting concerns about its safety and the need for potential risk management measures. With its high hazard potential, the Lake Panorama Dike serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring critical infrastructure to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the Lake Panorama Dike stands as a crucial piece of the puzzle in managing water levels and protecting against potential flooding events. Its location in a recreational area highlights the intersection of human activities and environmental conservation, underscoring the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to safeguard both the dam and the surrounding community.
