Ten Mile River Boy Scout Camp Dam dam
Ten Mile River Boy Scout Camp Dam
The Ten Mile River Boy Scout Camp Dam, also known as Trout Pond, is a privately-owned dam located in Sullivan, New York. It is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and serves the primary purpose of recreation. This earth dam stands at a height of 9 feet and has a length of 70 feet, providing a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 57 acre-feet.
Situated on Beaver Brook, this dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has a surface area of 19 acres with a drainage area of 1 square mile. Despite being last inspected in 1985 and currently rated as 'Not Rated' in condition assessment, it poses a moderate risk according to the data available. With its picturesque location and historical significance as part of the Boy Scout camp, there is a need for further evaluation and potential maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of this recreational water resource amidst the changing climate conditions in the region.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the Ten Mile River Boy Scout Camp Dam a fascinating structure to study in terms of its design, purpose, and potential risks. As a privately-owned dam with a recreational focus, it serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring such infrastructure to ensure the safety of both the environment and the community. With a moderate risk level, there is a call for updated inspections and risk management measures to protect this dam and its surrounding area from any potential hazards in the future.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Ten Mile River Boy Scout Camp Dam
Where does the data for Ten Mile River Boy Scout Camp Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
