Albert Pines Pond Dam Reservoir Report
Nearby: Kazens Pond Dam Hunter Lake Dam
Last Updated: February 24, 2026
Located in Cochecton Center, New York, the Albert Pines Pond Dam is a privately owned structure that serves primarily for recreational purposes.
Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and spans a length of 450 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 305 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and has a low hazard potential rating.
The dam impounds the Tenmile River and has a spillway type of "Uncontrolled" with a width of 20 feet. Despite being last inspected in 2011 and currently rated as "Not Rated" for condition assessment, the Albert Pines Pond Dam poses a moderate risk level due to its age and lack of recent maintenance records. While it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, there is a need for further risk assessment and management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both water resource and climate enthusiasts who frequent the area.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
