This earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and spans 75 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1070 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of recreation and is classified as a low hazard structure with a very high risk assessment rating.
Despite being last inspected in 1980 and not currently rated for condition, Moose Pond Dam remains under state jurisdiction with permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols in place. The dam features a controlled spillway and is associated with the TR-Little Forked Lake river system. The risk management measures for this dam are currently unspecified, but given its high-risk assessment, water resource and climate enthusiasts may find the regulatory oversight and potential hazard of Moose Pond Dam to be of particular interest for further study and monitoring.
