The Kodak Elmgrove Detention Pond Dam, located in Rochester, New York, was completed in 1973 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
This earth dam stands at a height of 7 feet and has a length of 1825 feet, providing a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam regulates water flow through an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 175 feet, serving a drainage area of 0.51 square miles.
Managed by a private owner and regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Although last inspected in 1983, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potentially an emergency action plan. With its critical role in mitigating flood risks in the area, the Kodak Elmgrove Detention Pond Dam serves as an important piece of infrastructure in safeguarding the local community against water-related disasters.
