The earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans 110 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 326 acre-feet. The dam overlooks TR-LEMONS BROOK, offering a picturesque setting for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating.
Managed by a private owner, Filippini Pond Dam falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC). Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The spillway, with a width of 26 feet, is uncontrolled and can accommodate a maximum discharge of 290 cubic feet per second. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unknown.
Though its overall risk level is deemed moderate, Filippini Pond Dam continues to provide a tranquil setting for recreational activities in Sullivan County, New York. As climate change impacts water resources and infrastructure, ongoing inspections and maintenance will be essential to ensure the safety and longevity of this historic earth dam.
