Wild Lands Inc Pond #1 Dam dam
Wild Lands Inc Pond #1 Dam
Wild Lands INC Pond #1 Dam, located in Mitchellsville, New York, serves as a crucial recreational resource along the TR-MITCHELLSVILLE CREEK. This privately-owned earth dam, completed in 1967, stands at a height of 17 feet and has a length of 1900 feet. With a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a spillway width of 20 feet, the dam provides a surface area of 9 acres for outdoor activities.
The dam is regulated by the NYS DEC and undergoes regular inspections, with its last assessment dated back to April 2020. Classified with a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition is currently labeled as "Not Rated". Despite its age, Wild Lands INC Pond #1 Dam continues to play a vital role in water resource management and climate enthusiasts can appreciate its contribution to the local ecosystem.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the intricate details of Wild Lands INC Pond #1 Dam, they can marvel at its engineering feat and recreational significance. With a focus on maintaining its structural integrity and safety measures, the dam stands as a testament to responsible water management practices in the region. Its presence not only enhances the natural landscape but also provides a valuable space for outdoor enjoyment and environmental awareness.

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 Wild Lands Inc Pond #1 Dam
Where does the data for Wild Lands Inc Pond #1 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 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.
