Ewell Pond, located in Peacham, Vermont, is a private water resource regulated by the state's Department of Environmental Conservation. Built in 1930 for recreational purposes, this earthen dam stands at a height of 8 feet and has a storage capacity of 840 acre-feet. Despite its small surface area of 50 acres and drainage area of 3.1 square miles, Ewell Pond serves as a tranquil spot for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating.
The dam's condition assessment was rated as poor in 2011, with a low hazard potential. While it lacks a spillway and outlet gates, its construction from roller-compacted concrete and rock foundation ensures stability. The last inspection date in 2011 revealed a need for maintenance, highlighting the importance of regular assessments to ensure public safety and preserve the ecological balance of the surrounding East Peacham Brook-TR watershed.
With Congressman Peter Welch representing the area, Ewell Pond's historical significance and recreational value make it a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As discussions on dam safety and environmental conservation continue, monitoring and maintenance efforts are crucial to uphold the pond's integrity and safeguard its ecosystem for future generations to enjoy.
