This private dam, with a height of 31 feet and a length of 189 feet, has a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet and is situated along the TR-RED RIVER. While the dam does not have a spillway, it does have one outlet gate.
Despite its age, Pearcy Pond Dam's condition is currently not rated, and it is considered to have a high risk potential. While it is not regulated by the state and has no enforcement agency, it does undergo state permitting and inspection. The dam's risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps are not available, highlighting the need for further assessment and preparedness in case of emergencies. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pearcy Pond Dam presents an interesting case study in dam safety and management in a private setting.
