Summary
This earth dam, standing at 20 feet in height, was constructed for recreational purposes along the tributary of the North Prong of Beaverdam Creek. With a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, the dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities and water-based recreation.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and being in a not rated condition, Stonebridge Dam is regularly inspected by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The dam does not have a designated spillway type or maximum discharge capacity listed, indicating the need for further assessment and risk management measures. While the Emergency Action Plan status and risk assessment details are not provided, the presence of state-regulated permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes suggests a commitment to maintaining the dam's integrity and public safety.
Although details about the dam's completion year, length, and surface area are not available, Stonebridge Dam remains a significant feature in the region's water infrastructure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the unique location and purpose of this dam make it a valuable asset for both recreational enjoyment and environmental conservation efforts. Further monitoring and risk assessment measures may be necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability and safety of Stonebridge Dam for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

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.
