Summary

This earth dam, standing at a height of 25 feet and with a length of 11,500 feet, serves primarily for recreation purposes along the Woodbury Creek-OFFSTREAM. With a storage capacity of 1,600 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 75 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and not being rated for its condition assessment, New Jersey No Name # 3 Dam undergoes regular inspections every four years. The dam, which does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, lacks updated emergency contacts, and has no risk assessment or management measures in place. As a significant infrastructure for water management and recreation, it is important for the relevant authorities to ensure the safety and maintenance of the dam to mitigate any potential risks and protect the surrounding community and environment.

As a vital structure in the Congressional District 01 of New Jersey, New Jersey No Name # 3 Dam provides an essential recreational space while also contributing to the overall water resource management in the area. With its unique characteristics and ownership by a federal agency, the dam presents opportunities for further development and enhancement to meet evolving climate and water resource challenges 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. 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

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, 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.
