About Agency Pond

The primary purpose of Agency Pond is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Robert White (private). It impounds the Tr-beckwith Creek near Seale.

The dam stands 8 feet tall and stretches 350 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1969, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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. The most recent inspection on record was 01/19/2012. That was over 14 years ago.
