Summary
With a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 16 feet, this dam holds a high hazard potential. Though not currently rated for its condition, Langdon Pond Dam was last inspected in February 2021, highlighting the importance of regular checks to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being non-federally regulated, the dam stands as a vital structure along the Juniper Creek-Os river or stream.
While lacking specific details on its construction and storage capacity, Langdon Pond Dam serves as a significant landmark in the local landscape. Its association with the surrounding natural environment and its potential impact on water resources and climate make it a noteworthy site for enthusiasts in these fields to explore. The lack of federal oversight also raises questions about the dam's management and maintenance, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and assessment to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation. Overall, Langdon Pond Dam stands as a unique and intriguing structure with both recreational and environmental significance.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
