Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam dam
Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam
Located in Person, North Carolina, the Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam stands as a crucial structure for flood risk reduction along Sargents Creek. Completed in 2008, this dam boasts a hydraulic height of 23.3 feet and a structural height of 36 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 442 acre-feet. With a surface area of 17.5 acres and a length of 3576 feet, this dam plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment, the Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam poses a high hazard potential, underscoring the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam is under state jurisdiction and is subject to inspections to ensure its integrity and safety. Emergency action plans are in place, although details on their preparation and adherence to guidelines are not provided in the data.
Overall, the Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam serves as a key player in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in North Carolina. Its strategic location and design make it a valuable asset in the region's flood risk reduction strategy, highlighting the critical role of infrastructure in safeguarding communities against natural disasters.
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 Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam
Where does the data for Roxboro West Fgd Settling Pond Dam 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.
