Completed in 1964, this earth-core dam stands at 25 feet high with a length of 584 feet, providing a storage capacity of 47 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Mud Brook-TR, within the Lamoille County region, under the jurisdiction of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
Maintaining a satisfactory condition assessment as of November 2018, the Bryan dam poses a significant hazard potential due to its structural design and location. With a history of state regulation, permitting, and inspections, the dam's last inspection date was in July 2013, with a regular inspection frequency of every 3 years. Despite meeting guidelines and having an Emergency Action Plan in place, details on risk assessment, inundation maps, and risk management measures are currently unavailable.
In the event of an emergency, it is crucial for stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts to stay informed and updated on the Bryan dam's condition and regulatory status. With its significant hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, ongoing monitoring and regular inspections are essential to ensure public safety and mitigate potential risks associated with this recreational water structure.
