Hampshire Country Club Dam dam
Hampshire Country Club Dam
The Hampshire Country Club Dam, located in Westchester, New York, is a state-regulated structure with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment. This earth dam has a height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "other," with an uncontrolled spillway type and a width of 10 feet.
Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), the Hampshire Country Club Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and does not currently have an emergency action plan in place. The last inspection was conducted in July 2020, showing compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. With a risk assessment score of 3 out of 5, the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps have yet to be prepared.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Hampshire Country Club Dam offers a fascinating case study in dam management and regulation. With its picturesque location and unique design features, this dam serves as a vital piece of infrastructure in the region. As stakeholders continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition, there is a growing need for comprehensive risk management strategies to ensure the safety and integrity of this important water resource asset.

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 Hampshire Country Club Dam
Where does the data for Hampshire Country 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 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.
