About Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam
The primary purpose of Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam 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 Charles Geno (private). It impounds the West Fork Quivre River near Troy.
The dam stands 34 feet tall and stretches 354 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 224 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 160 square miles. Completed in 1986, the structure is 40 years old.
