Tetreault is a state-regulated Earth dam located in Addison, Vermont, specifically on the EAST BRANCH DEAD CREEK-TR river or stream. Built in 1957 by the designers Haley & Ward, this dam serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a length of 215 feet, with a surface area of 9 acres and a drainage area of 1.2 square miles.

Even though Tetreault has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition, it is subject to regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. The dam's last inspection was conducted in May 2004, with a frequency of every 10 years. While there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, there are no associated locks, spillways, or outlet gates present, indicating a simpler structure in terms of hydraulic components.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Tetreault presents an interesting case study in dam infrastructure, highlighting the importance of state regulation and inspection in ensuring the safety and functionality of water retention structures. The dam's primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife populations underscores the critical role that such structures play in ecological conservation efforts. With its location in a scenic area of Vermont and its relatively low risk profile, Tetreault serves as a reminder of the balance between harnessing water resources for human and environmental benefit while mitigating potential hazards.
