Highland Field And Stream Club Inc Dam dam
Highland Field And Stream Club Inc Dam
The Highland Field and Stream Club INC Dam, located in Eldred, New York, stands as a testament to private ownership and stewardship of water resources. Completed in 1986, this earth dam on the TR-HALFWAY BROOK serves a primary purpose of "Other," with a height of 12 feet and a length of 300 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a low hazard potential, reflecting its modest impact on the surrounding area.
Managed by the NYS DEC and regulated by the state of New York, the Highland Field and Stream Club INC Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's uncontrolled spillway and low hazard potential indicate a balanced approach to maintaining water levels and protecting downstream areas. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for condition assessment, suggesting a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Highland Field and Stream Club INC Dam stands as a reminder of the important role that private entities play in preserving water resources and mitigating the impacts of climate change. With proper oversight and maintenance, this dam continues to serve its purpose while also highlighting the need for proactive risk management measures in the face of environmental challenges.
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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Highland Field And Stream Club Inc Dam
Where does the data for Highland Field And Stream Club Inc 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.
