Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 dam
Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2
Located in Wayne, North Carolina, the Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 is a crucial facility for managing and treating wastewater in the area. Completed in 2008, this Earth-type dam structure stands at a structural height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 15 acre-feet. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is in satisfactory condition and is regularly inspected by state regulatory agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards.
Operated by the local government, this offstream dam plays a vital role in the treatment and disposal of wastewater in the region. With a history of meeting regulatory requirements and undergoing regular inspections, the Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 serves as a key infrastructure for maintaining water quality and protecting the environment. As part of the state's regulatory framework, the dam is subject to oversight from agencies such as NCDEQ and DEMLR, ensuring that it operates safely and efficiently.
In the event of emergencies, the dam has an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to guide response efforts and mitigate risks. With a focus on public safety and environmental protection, the Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 stands as a critical resource for water management and climate resilience in the region, reflecting a commitment to sustainable infrastructure and effective wastewater treatment practices.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2
Where does the data for Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
