Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond Dam dam
Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond Dam
Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond Dam, located in Sullivan County, New York, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam, standing at 7 feet tall and stretching 50 feet in length, creates a serene pond with a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and a surface area of 25 acres. The dam is situated on the TR-DELAWARE RIVER and is regulated by the NYS DEC, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection was conducted in September 2010, and while the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it meets state guidelines and is considered to have adequate risk management measures. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the dam serves as a vital recreational asset in the area, providing opportunities for water-based activities and wildlife habitat.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts visiting Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond Dam can appreciate its tranquil setting and recreational offerings, while also recognizing the importance of proper maintenance and oversight to ensure its long-term safety and functionality. The dam's presence on the TR-DELAWARE RIVER adds to the diverse water resources in the region, highlighting the interconnectedness of human activities and natural ecosystems. As efforts continue to monitor and manage the dam, it remains a valuable asset for both the local community and visitors seeking to enjoy the beauty of the area.

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 Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond Dam
Where does the data for Camp Diana Dalmqua Pond 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.
