Conklin Players Club Dam Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 6, 2025

The Conklin Players Club Dam, located in Conklin Station, New York, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1990 that serves multiple purposes, including flood control and water storage on the TR-Susquehanna River.

Summary

With a height of 20 feet and a length of 640 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 123 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.16 square miles. Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment, the dam is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which conducts inspections and enforces compliance with state permitting requirements.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 49 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 135 cubic feet per second. Its location on the Susquehanna River poses a moderate risk, with a risk assessment rating of 3 out of 5. The last inspection in October 2019 highlighted the dam's poor condition, prompting the need for risk management measures to ensure public safety and environmental protection. As a vital infrastructure in the region, stakeholders are advised to stay updated on the dam's maintenance and emergency preparedness protocols to mitigate potential risks associated with its operation.

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.
