New Jersey No Name # 58 Dam dam
New Jersey No Name # 58 Dam
The New Jersey No Name # 58 Dam, located in Sussex Borough, Sussex County, New Jersey, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose of recreation. Standing at a height of 18.2 feet and a length of 110 feet, this dam has a maximum storage capacity of 238 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 122 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Papakating River-TR and falls under the regulatory oversight of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).
Although the dam has a low hazard potential, it has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection was conducted in November 2001. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and risk management measures are all currently unknown. Despite these uncertainties, the dam serves as a recreational resource in Wantage Township, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and water-based recreation. With its picturesque location and potential for enhancing the surrounding ecosystem, the New Jersey No Name # 58 Dam is a notable feature in the region for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
In conclusion, the New Jersey No Name # 58 Dam presents an interesting case study for those interested in water resource management and climate resilience. As a privately owned structure with a focus on recreation, the dam's operational status, maintenance history, and emergency preparedness are key areas for further investigation. With its location on the Papakating River-TR and its role in providing storage and drainage benefits, this dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and recreational opportunities. Continued monitoring and assessment of the dam's condition and safety measures will be essential in ensuring its long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
Dam data reference
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 New Jersey No Name # 58 Dam
Where does the data for New Jersey No Name # 58 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.
