Beaver Run Dam, located in Lordville, Delaware County, New York, was completed in 1976 and serves as a recreational site along Humphries Brook. This privately owned Earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet with a length of 130 feet, providing a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) and is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Beaver Run Dam presents a moderate risk level according to a risk assessment, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 28 feet and has not undergone any modifications since its completion. While the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status is unknown, its risk management measures and preparedness for potential hazards are aspects that may need further evaluation and improvement. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate may find interest in monitoring the condition and management of Beaver Run Dam to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and water resources.
