Built in 1934, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and has a height of 25 feet and a length of 120 feet. With a storage capacity of 380 acre-feet, it provides a surface area of 38 acres and has a drainage area of 0.9 square miles. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, its risk assessment is considered high.
Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Christie Brook Dike is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. Although it has not been rated in terms of condition assessment, the dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years. With no spillway present, this dam relies on the natural flow of Pine Meadow Brook as its outlet. Additionally, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared or updated, indicating potential gaps in emergency response measures for the area.
Overall, Christie Brook Dike provides a valuable recreational resource in the region, while also posing a potential risk due to its high-risk assessment rating. As a state-regulated structure, it is important to monitor and address any maintenance or safety concerns to ensure the continued safety and functionality of the dam for both recreational enjoyment and water resource management in the area.
