About Mccormick North Phase 3 Storm Pond

The primary purpose of Mccormick North Phase 3 Storm Pond is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Mccormick Woods Association (local government).

The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 721 feet across, and has a maximum storage capacity of 16 acre-feet. Completed in 2023, the structure is relatively new.

This dam carries a high hazard potential classification, which means that a failure or uncontrolled release of water would likely cause loss of human life.
