About Manley Smyser Farm Pond
The primary purpose of Manley Smyser Farm Pond is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Manley Smyser (private). It impounds the Tr-chariton River near Livonia.
The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 330 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 33 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 32 square miles. Completed in 1989, the structure is 37 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
At 33 feet, this dam is taller than 78% of dams nationwide.
