Burbee Pond, located in Windham, Vermont, is a private recreational area known for its serene setting and picturesque surroundings. The dam, constructed in 1920, stands at a height of 13 feet and holds a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 34 acres and is fed by Turkey Mountain Brook, making it a vital water resource in the region.
Despite its historical significance and recreational value, Burbee Pond faces challenges in terms of its condition assessment, which has been deemed poor. The dam's hazard potential is categorized as low, but its structural integrity is a cause for concern. The last inspection in 2007 highlighted the need for maintenance and improvements to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure.
With the state of Vermont regulating and inspecting the dam, efforts are being made to address the maintenance issues and enhance the pond's overall safety. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Burbee Pond serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and preserving our natural water bodies for both recreational enjoyment and environmental sustainability.
