The dam, built on East Masonville Creek, stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 65 feet, providing recreational opportunities for visitors in the area. With a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet and a surface area of 21 acres, the dam serves primarily for recreational purposes.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the Masonville Dam has a high risk assessment due to its outdated inspection records dating back to December 1996. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and there is no Emergency Action Plan prepared or updated for potential risks. While the dam meets guidelines for risk assessment, there is a need for further evaluation and management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the structure for both recreational users and the surrounding community.
With its picturesque location and recreational offerings, the Masonville Dam presents an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore the intersection of human-made structures and environmental conservation. As efforts continue to assess and manage the risks associated with the dam, there is a growing need for proactive measures to address any potential hazards and ensure the long-term sustainability of this important recreational resource in Delaware County, New York.
