@evanescence0403 Sorry you're incorrect. This dam has an effect on all of Pompton Lakes below it, that's the entire section from Mathes Dr right through to Riverside as it overflows the river behind all of the businesses on Hamburg Tpk. The dam releases more water per minute than can be passed through the river downstream, causing flooding all the way to Little Falls, while keeping Oakland's Venice section almost bone dry.
