Last Updated: December 5, 2025

Located in Greece, New York, the Maiden Lane Detention Pond Dam, also known as the West Trib Detention Pond, was completed in 1983 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction.

Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and stretches 910 feet in length, providing storage capacity of 58 acre-feet in the TR-POND CREEK watershed. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 178 feet, and it has a significant hazard potential.

Managed by local government, Maiden Lane Detention Pond Dam is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but it undergoes inspections every four years. While the risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a DSAC assigned date not provided, the emergency action plan was last revised in December 2019. With its strategic location and crucial role in flood risk reduction, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure in the water resource management of Monroe County.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
