The dam, completed in 1940, is a gravity type structure made of concrete and stands at a height of 12 feet. The pond has a maximum storage capacity of 170 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 70 acre-feet, with a surface area of 23 acres. Miscauno Pond is situated on the Miscauno Creek and is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
Despite being rated as having a fair condition assessment, Miscauno Pond poses a high hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment. The spillway, a controlled type with a width of 6 feet, helps manage water flow, with a maximum discharge of 182 cubic feet per second. The pond's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not detailed in the data, indicating a potential area for improvement in emergency preparedness. Overall, Miscauno Pond serves as a recreational oasis in Marinette, but ongoing monitoring and maintenance are crucial to mitigate the high hazard potential associated with the dam structure and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and ecosystem.
