The Green River Reservoir Dike in Hyde Park, Vermont, is a crucial structure for hydroelectric purposes, designed by Charles T. Main and completed in 1947. This earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and spans 248 feet in length, holding a storage capacity of 7500 acre-feet in the reservoir. The dam is primarily made of stone and built on a soil foundation, with a significant hazard potential but currently rated as "Not Rated" in its condition assessment.

Located on Baldin Brook, the Green River Reservoir Dike is owned by the local government and falls under state jurisdiction in Vermont. Despite being a non-federal structure, it plays a vital role in water resource management in the area. The dam has not been updated or inspected since May 1998, with an inspection frequency of 10 years, raising concerns about its current state and readiness for potential emergencies.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts should take note of the Green River Reservoir Dike as a key component of the region's hydroelectric infrastructure. With its historical significance and essential role in water storage and management, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are crucial to ensure the safety and functionality of this important structure.
