With a height of 6 feet and a length of 352 feet, the dam provides a maximum storage capacity of 18 acre-feet, making it an essential water resource in the area. Despite its age, the dam is regularly inspected by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with safety regulations.
The dam's spillway is uncontrolled and has a width of 25 feet, further enhancing its ability to manage water flow during periods of high discharge. Classified with a significant hazard potential, Mallory Dam is deemed to have a moderate risk level, necessitating ongoing risk management measures to mitigate any potential threats to the surrounding area. Although the dam's condition is currently not rated, its emergency action plan was last revised in 2014, indicating a commitment to preparedness and safety measures in case of any unforeseen events.
Managed by a private entity, Mallory Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for both water resource management and recreational activities in Oswego County. Its strategic location and role in regulating water flow underscore its importance in ensuring a sustainable environment for both wildlife and residents in the region.
