Warren Mill Dam, located in Pohatcong, New Jersey, along the Musconetcong River, is a historic structure completed in 1916 primarily for water supply purposes. This Earth-type dam stands at 37.5 feet tall and stretches 330 feet in length, with a normal storage capacity of 28 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam continues to play a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, serving as a key component for ensuring water availability in the area.

The dam's high hazard potential and poor condition assessment highlight the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness. Managed by private owners, Warren Mill Dam falls under New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's regulatory jurisdiction, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam's association with the Musconetcong River and its significant storage capacity underscore its importance in water resource management and flood control efforts in the region.

With ongoing challenges related to its condition and hazard potential, Warren Mill Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive maintenance and monitoring for aging infrastructure. As climate change impacts water resources and infrastructure resilience, the preservation and modernization of structures like Warren Mill Dam become increasingly crucial for sustainable water management and climate adaptation efforts in New Jersey's Hunterdon County.
