Built in 1989, this earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and spans a length of 2800 feet, with a storage capacity of 4770 acre-feet. Situated on the Perch River, the dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
Despite its low hazard potential, Stone Mills Dam 2 poses a very high risk due to its critical location and the surrounding area's vulnerability to potential flooding. The spillway, with a width of 38 feet, is designed as a controlled outlet for excess water flow. The dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further assessment and monitoring to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
With a limited history of inspections dating back to July 1996, Stone Mills Dam 2 remains a significant water resource management asset in Jefferson County. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, ongoing attention and risk management measures are essential to safeguarding this vital dam and the community it serves.
