Olympus Pool is a historic Earth dam located in Rutland, Vermont, completed in 1885 with a height of 27 feet and a hydraulic height of 28 feet. This dam, situated on Otter Creek-TR, serves multiple purposes including water supply and has a storage capacity of 25 acre-feet. Despite its age, this structure is state regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.

The dam's condition assessment in 2018 rated it as poor, with a significant hazard potential, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential risk management measures. The last inspection in 2013 revealed a need for improvement, indicating a recurring inspection frequency of every 3 years. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk assessment information are currently unavailable, suggesting a potential area for improvement in emergency preparedness and risk mitigation strategies.

With a rich history dating back over a century, Olympus Pool stands as a testament to Vermont's water resource management efforts. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, ensuring the safety and efficiency of infrastructure like this dam is crucial for sustainable water management in the region. Its location in Proctor, Vermont, and association with Otter Creek-TR make it a valuable asset for water supply and environmental conservation efforts in the area.
