Northeast Developers, also known as Lake Lucidian, is a private dam located in Rutland, Vermont, owned by a private entity. The dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, serves primarily for recreational purposes and stands at a height of 17 feet with a length of 800 feet. Completed in 1968, the dam has a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 27 acres, impacting a drainage area of 0.63 square miles along the Mill Brook-TR stream.
Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment, Northeast Developers is regulated and permitted by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The dam's spillway is classified as uncontrolled, and it lacks outlet gates. The last inspection conducted in July 2011 revealed a need for improvement, with a moderate risk level assigned to the structure. It is crucial for developers in the Northeast region to consider the environmental and safety implications of maintaining and potentially upgrading dams like Northeast Developers to ensure the sustainable management of water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
