In plain language

What you should know

Many lake dams in New Jersey are owned by lake associations, HOAs, clubs and private owners, not the government. If you own a dam, you are responsible for keeping it safe.

New Jersey’s Safe Dam Act and NJDEP’s Dam Safety Standards require dam owners to operate and maintain their dams, have them inspected by a licensed professional engineer, and get NJDEP approval before repairing or altering a dam. When an inspection report calls for repairs, the owner’s engineer designs them and Sparwick can build them.
