Blake, also known as Glengreen Pond, is a private water resource located in Orange County, Vermont. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet, with a length of 245 feet, and was completed in 1972 for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres, Blake serves as a vital source of leisure for the local community.
Regulated by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, Blake has been deemed to have a significant hazard potential, yet maintains a fair condition assessment as of July 2019. While the dam has a controlled uncontrolled spillway type, it lacks an emergency action plan and inundation maps. Despite these shortcomings, the risk assessment for Blake remains at a moderate level, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and management to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
Represented by Congressman Peter Welch, the future of Blake hinges on continued inspection and enforcement by state regulatory agencies. As a key feature of the Tabor Branch-TR watershed, Blake plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Enthusiasts and climate advocates alike can appreciate the importance of maintaining and safeguarding this recreational reservoir for both present and future generations.
