The Red Hook Mills Dam, located in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, stands as a stone structure with a height of 26 feet and a length of 80 feet.
This privately-owned dam on the Saw Kill river serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet. Despite its historical significance and serene surroundings, the dam poses a significant hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition.
Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Red Hook Mills Dam has state-regulated permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1000 cubic feet per second, the dam's risk assessment is classified as moderate. However, emergency action plans and inundation maps have not been updated or prepared in recent years, leaving room for improvement in risk management measures.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Red Hook Mills Dam offers a glimpse into the intricate balance between human recreation, environmental protection, and public safety. As stakeholders work towards enhancing the dam's resilience and emergency preparedness, the dam continues to stand as a picturesque reminder of the intersection between man-made infrastructure and natural landscapes in the face of changing climatic conditions.
