Kingston Reservoir #2 Dam, located in Zena, Ulster County, New York, was completed in 1910 for the primary purpose of recreation.
This concrete dam stands at a height of 40 feet and has a length of 750 feet, creating a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 95 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Saw Kill River and is under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
Despite its age, the dam is in poor condition and has a significant hazard potential. The last inspection in June 2019 revealed the need for maintenance and rehabilitation. The dam is uncontrolled with a spillway width of 130 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 14,200 cubic feet per second. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a current risk rating of 3.
With its historical significance and potential risks, the Kingston Reservoir #2 Dam serves as a critical structure for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and risk management measures are essential to ensure the safety and integrity of this important infrastructure for both recreational and environmental purposes.
