Summary
The dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with additional recreational benefits. Standing at a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, the dam has a length of 3333 feet and a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. Despite being last inspected in 1999, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
While White Pond Dam #2 is not regulated by the state and does not have a state permit, it does undergo regular inspections. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps are not currently in place. With a history dating back to an unknown completion year, the dam continues to provide valuable water resources for the surrounding area, ensuring a stable water supply for irrigation and recreational activities. Overall, White Pond Dam #2 stands as a testament to the importance of private ownership and management in safeguarding water resources and infrastructure.

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.
