Belmont is a private water supply dam located in Lackawanna, Pennsylvania, along the TR Lackawanna River. Built in 1903, this Earth-type dam stands at 33 feet high and spans 605 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of water supply, providing a normal storage capacity of 55 acre-feet over a surface area of 4 acres, within a drainage area of 0.46 square miles.

Despite its historical significance, Belmont is currently rated as having a high hazard potential and poor condition assessment. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection regulates and inspects the dam, ensuring it meets safety standards. The last inspection was conducted in June 2020, with a frequency of once per year. While no emergency action plan or risk assessment has been reported, the dam's risk management measures remain unspecified.

Given its critical role in water supply and its deteriorating condition, Belmont presents a pressing concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's high hazard potential underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of this vital infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions and increasing water demands.
