Summary

Completed in 1959, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 650 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 350 acre-feet and a surface area of 35 acres.

Situated along the TR-DELAWARE RIVER in Pennsylvania, W Kelly Farm Pond Dam is regulated by the NYS DEC and undergoes regular state inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a high risk level (2) due to unspecified factors. The last inspection was conducted in October 1997, and the dam's condition is currently marked as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further assessment and potential risk management measures.

Overall, W Kelly Farm Pond Dam presents a fascinating opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the beauty of nature. As a recreational structure in a picturesque location, it is essential to prioritize regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and longevity of this significant water resource feature. With its rich history and potential for enjoyment, this dam serves as a valuable asset for the local community and visitors alike.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
