Built in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and spans a length of 550 feet, providing a storage capacity of 157 acre-feet for the Ywca recreational pond. The dam overlooks the TR-Beaver Meadow Creek, offering a serene recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Although the Ywca Recreational Pond Dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, it is currently not rated for its condition assessment. Despite being under state regulation by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) with permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place, there is a high risk assessment associated with this structure. With a maximum discharge capacity of 95 cubic feet per second and a spillway width of 28 feet, the dam is equipped to handle potential overflow events. However, more detailed risk management measures may need to be implemented to ensure the safety and longevity of the Ywca Recreational Pond Dam for future generations to enjoy.
