The dam, located on Calhoun Creek, has a height of 11 feet and a length of 320 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. It serves as a low-hazard structure with a high risk assessment due to its age and lack of recent condition assessments.
Despite being state-regulated and inspected by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the dam's condition remains unrated as of the last inspection in 1980. With a spillway width of 21 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 51 cubic feet per second, the dam poses a potential risk to surrounding areas in the event of a breach. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in monitoring the dam's condition and enforcement measures to ensure the safety of the community and the conservation of the surrounding environment.
