Summary

Greece Waste Weir Dam, located in Monroe, New York, was completed in 1918 with a primary purpose of navigation along the TR-Round Pond Creek. This state-regulated dam stands at a height of 19 feet and a length of 148 feet, providing a storage capacity of 10,488 acre-feet. With a surface area of 890 acres and a drainage area of 1.6 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

Despite its age, the S. Greece Waste Weir Dam is classified as having a high hazard potential due to its condition being not rated. The dam's risk assessment has been identified as high (2), emphasizing the need for effective risk management measures. Regular inspections are conducted to ensure the dam's structural integrity and compliance with state regulations, with the last inspection date recorded in September 2020. As a key infrastructure for navigation in the area, the dam serves as a vital component in the region's water resource management and climate resilience efforts.

As a state-owned structure, the S. Greece Waste Weir Dam plays a critical role in supporting water management and navigation activities along the TR-Round Pond Creek in Monroe, New York. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide essential storage capacity and flood control measures. With a high hazard potential and risk assessment, ongoing inspections and risk management measures are crucial to ensuring the dam's continued functionality and safety for both water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

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.
