Summary
The dam stands at 32 feet high with a length of 115 feet, providing a storage capacity of 175 acre-feet and a surface area of 16 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, Said is in poor condition and was last inspected in 2010, with a moderate risk assessment indicating the need for maintenance and risk management measures to ensure the safety and longevity of this water resource infrastructure.
Managed by the Vermont state agency DEC, Said has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and its primary purpose is for recreation. The structure is primarily made of stone with rock and soil foundations, posing a moderate risk level that requires attention to prevent potential hazards. With a designer named as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Said's outdated condition assessment in 2018 highlights the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to address any structural deficiencies and ensure public safety.
In the care of the New York District USACE, Said is a crucial water resource serving the community of CASTLETON. The dam's associated structures remain at zero, reflecting its standalone nature for recreational use. As climate change impacts water resources, it is imperative for responsible agencies to prioritize the rehabilitation of aging infrastructure like Said to adapt to evolving environmental conditions and safeguard the surrounding area from potential risks associated with poor conditions and inadequate maintenance practices.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
