Summary

With a height of 13 feet and a length of 1450 feet, the dam provides a maximum storage capacity of 15 acre-feet and a normal storage of 7 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a width of 70 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 1510 cubic feet per second.

Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, Broome Corporate Park Pond Dam #2 is inspected every two years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's risk assessment is categorized as moderate, with a rating of 3, indicating a level of risk that requires attention and management. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation oversees the dam's regulatory compliance, permitting, inspection, and enforcement responsibilities, highlighting the importance of state oversight in managing water resources and climate-related risks in the region.

Overall, Broome Corporate Park Pond Dam #2 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area, serving as a significant infrastructure for water resource management. Its location along the Susquehanna River and its capacity for storage and discharge make it a vital asset for flood control and protection of surrounding communities. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and management of dams like Broome Corporate Park Pond Dam #2 become increasingly important to ensure the safety and resilience of the region against potential water-related hazards.

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. 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

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, 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.
