Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2 dam
Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2
Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2, located in Glenwood, New Jersey, is a crucial piece of infrastructure owned by the local government for flood risk reduction along the Pochuck Creek-TR. This earth dam, completed in 2000, stands at a height of 14.77 feet and has a capacity to store 10 acre-feet of water. With a significant hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment as of January 2020, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Situated within Congressional District 05, New Jersey, this dam serves its primary purpose of flood risk reduction effectively. With a designated emergency action plan and regular inspection frequency, the dam ensures the safety and security of the residents in Vernon Township.
Despite its modest size with a 146-foot length and 1-acre surface area, Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2 provides essential flood protection for the local community. With its strategic location and state-regulated operations, this dam stands as a key asset in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Sussex County, New Jersey.
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 Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2
Where does the data for Mcafee Glenwood Road Dam No. 2 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 Significant 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.
