Located in Highland Falls, New York, the Bog Meadow Reservoir Dam is a vital piece of infrastructure managed by the local government for water supply purposes.
Completed in 1996, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a length of 440 feet, providing a storage capacity of 877 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 57.1 acres and is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment, the Bog Meadow Reservoir Dam remains a crucial asset for the community. With an uncontrolled spillway width of 96 feet, the dam poses moderate risks that are managed through regular inspections and a designated emergency action plan. The surrounding area, including the HIGHLAND BROOK, relies on the dam for water supply, emphasizing the importance of effective risk management and maintenance practices to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
Owned and operated by the local government, the Bog Meadow Reservoir Dam serves as a key component of the water infrastructure in Orange County, New York. As climate change and water resource challenges continue to impact the region, the dam's role in providing essential water supply services underscores the need for ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and risk mitigation measures to safeguard this critical resource for the community and the environment.
