Summary

The dam, designed by SCS, is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 11 feet and a length of 450 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 52 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 99 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 16 acres and drains a 110-acre watershed.

Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Hagan Pond Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently assessed as not rated in terms of condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, it is monitored for potential risks and is equipped with emergency action plans to ensure public safety in the event of an emergency.

Situated in the Goodwill Church Environs, Hagan Pond Dam stands as a vital water resource in the area, providing crucial support for fire protection and recreational activities. With its unique design and operational features, the dam serves as an important infrastructure for the local community while maintaining a moderate risk level and low hazard potential. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring the condition and safety of Hagan Pond Dam is essential for safeguarding the surrounding environment and ensuring sustainable water management practices.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
