Dormoy Lake, located in Price Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned Earth dam with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam, completed in 1930, stands at a height of 20 feet and spans a length of 330 feet, creating a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area of 10 acres and is fed by the TR Stony Run river or stream.
Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Dormoy Lake's hazard potential is labeled as "Undetermined" with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." The last inspection date was in July 2002, with no reported updates on emergency action plans or risk assessments. The dam's risk management measures, emergency contacts, and inundation maps are currently not prepared or updated, raising concerns about the safety and maintenance of the structure.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Dormoy Lake presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam with limited oversight and maintenance. The lack of recent inspections and assessments raises questions about the potential risks associated with the dam and the safety of the surrounding community. As discussions around water resource management and climate resilience continue, Dormoy Lake serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance of critical water infrastructure to ensure the safety and well-being of both people and the environment.
