While the dam's hazard potential is listed as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the last inspection took place in November 1994. This dam plays a significant role in the local water resource management and offers recreational opportunities for visitors.
Despite not being regulated or permitted by the state, Wormley Pond Dam serves as a vital structure in the area, contributing to the overall drainage area of 1.2 square miles. With a spillway type and width unspecified, the dam's risk assessment and management measures are currently not available. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and inundation maps readiness for the dam are also not specified, highlighting the need for further evaluation and monitoring of this essential water resource infrastructure.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of assessing and maintaining structures like Wormley Pond Dam becomes increasingly crucial. With its location in a Federal jurisdiction and under the Norfolk District, the dam's role in water management and recreation underscores the need for continued monitoring, inspection, and potential risk assessment to ensure its safety and functionality for years to come.
