Coon Rock Rod And Gun Club Dam dam
Coon Rock Rod And Gun Club Dam
Situated in Hortonville, New York, the Coon Rock Rod and Gun Club Dam stands as a testament to private ownership and commitment to the stewardship of water resources. This earth dam, with a height of 12 feet and a length of 250 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes along the TR-East Branch Callicoon Creek. Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure compliance with safety standards and environmental protection.
With a storage capacity of 90.6 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, the Coon Rock Dam presents a significant hazard potential that is monitored regularly through inspections conducted every four years. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam is categorized as having a moderate risk level (3) and is deemed to meet risk management guidelines. The absence of Emergency Action Plans (EAP) and inundation maps underscores the need for continued vigilance and preparedness in the event of unforeseen emergencies, emphasizing the importance of proactive risk management measures for the safety of surrounding communities and the ecosystem.
As climate change impacts intensify, the role of dams like Coon Rock Rod and Gun Club Dam in water resource management becomes increasingly critical. By maintaining a balance between recreational use and environmental protection, private owners and state regulators can work hand in hand to ensure the resilience and sustainability of this vital infrastructure in the face of evolving climate 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.

About Coon Rock Rod And Gun Club Dam
Where does the data for Coon Rock Rod And Gun Club 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.
