Village Of Naples Dam dam
Village Of Naples Dam
The Village of Naples Dam in New York, completed in 1957, serves the primary purpose of water supply along the TR-Eelpot Creek. 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
- 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 Village Of Naples Dam
Where does the data for Village Of Naples 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 Low 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.
