Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 23 acre-feet, with a controlled spillway width of 8 feet. While the dam's hazard potential is rated as low, its risk assessment is classified as very high, indicating the need for vigilant monitoring and management.
Owned by the local government, the Village of Naples Dam is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. With a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 0.01 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in Ontario County, New York. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures should be continually evaluated to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Despite its low hazard potential, the Village of Naples Dam presents a high risk due to its critical location and function in the region. Climate change and extreme weather events may further exacerbate the dam's risk profile, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to safeguard the surrounding community and water resources. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor the dam's condition and advocate for sustainable management strategies to mitigate potential risks and ensure long-term resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
