Rome 50mg Reservoir Dam dam
Rome 50mg Reservoir Dam
The Rome 50mg Reservoir Dam in Oneida, New York is a local government-owned structure that serves as a crucial water resource in the area. Standing at a height of 17.5 feet, with a length of 500 feet, and a storage capacity of 166 acre-feet, this earth dam plays a vital role in regulating water flow and storage in the region. It is regulated by the NYS DEC and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet, and has a moderate risk rating of 3. While its hazard potential is undetermined, the dam's condition is currently not rated. The last inspection was conducted in September 2016, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks. Overall, the Rome 50mg Reservoir Dam is a key component of the local water infrastructure, providing essential water storage and flood control benefits to the surrounding area.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find the Rome 50mg Reservoir Dam to be a fascinating structure, with its unique design and critical role in water management. As a part of the Buffalo District, this dam exemplifies the importance of proper regulation and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of water infrastructure projects. With its strategic location in Oneida, New York, this dam stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of water resource management in the region.

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 Rome 50mg Reservoir Dam
Where does the data for Rome 50mg Reservoir 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 Undetermined 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.
