Standing at a height of 10 feet and a length of 160 feet, this earth dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 29 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the TR-OCCANUM LAKE and has a spillway width of 6 feet, with a significant hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment.
Despite its recreational purpose, Agfa Lake Dam requires attention and maintenance to ensure safety and functionality. With its last inspection conducted in April 2017 revealing a poor condition, the dam poses moderate risk. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) oversees its regulation, permitting, and inspection, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate should monitor the ongoing maintenance and risk assessment of Agfa Lake Dam to protect both the environment and public safety in the area.
