Historic Architectural Resource Investigation, Brindle Lake Dam Rehabilitation Project, Fort Dix Military Reservation, Township of Plumsted, Ocean County, New Jersey

Year: 2007

Summary

The U.S. Army contracted Tetra Tech EC, Inc. (TtEC) to complete an architectural investigation for the proposed repair and rehabilitation of Brindle Lake Dam on Fort Dix, Plumsted Township, Ocean County, New Jersey. The investigation was completed in accordance with Section 106 of National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office (NJHPO) guidelines for architectural history survey.

Built in 1928, Brindle Lake Dam is an earthen dam with a wooden spillway constructed to replace a nineteenth century dam. The dam impounds 15-hectare Brindle Lake, created as a nineteenth century sawmill millpond. The once-present historic buildings surrounding the dam were demolished sometime after federal acquisition circa 1940.

Field investigations included photo documentation of existing conditions and completion of NJHPO Individual Structure Survey Forms. The investigation assessed Brindle Lake Dam as lacking architectural integrity and lacking association with a significant historical trends, events, or people in United States military or civilian history or Fort Dix history. The investigation recommended Brindle Lake Dam not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and not eligible for Pinelands Designation. The investigation recommended no further documentation of Brindle Lake Dam.
