Summary
The dam at Dunklee Pond is constructed primarily of stone and has a height of 10 feet and a length of 75 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 4 acre-feet. With a surface area of 0.9 acres and a drainage area of 4.18 square miles, Dunklee Pond plays a significant role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite its important role in water management, Dunklee Pond is considered to have a significant hazard potential, with a poor condition assessment as of October 2019. The dam's emergency action plan is not currently prepared or up to date, raising concerns about its ability to respond to potential risks. With no recent inspection data available and limited information on risk assessment and management measures, Dunklee Pond's condition and readiness for potential emergencies are areas of concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
As a private water resource in Vermont, Dunklee Pond's condition and management are crucial factors for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding area. With its unique location and potential hazards, Dunklee Pond serves as a reminder of the importance of proper infrastructure maintenance and emergency preparedness in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water resource challenges.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
