Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond dam
Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond
Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond is a key water resource located in Iredell, North Carolina, near Weathers Creek. This aquaculture pond plays a significant role in the local ecosystem as a state-regulated and state-jurisdictional site, overseen by the NCDEQ Dam Safety Program. While specific details such as dam height, volume, and storage capacity are not provided, the pond's hazard potential is rated as significant, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and oversight.
Despite lacking certain structural specifications, Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond is inspected regularly, with a notable hazard potential that necessitates a thorough risk assessment. The pond's condition is currently not rated, but its emergency action plan status is undisclosed, highlighting the need for preparedness and adherence to safety guidelines. The location's proximity to Weathers Creek and its role in aquaculture make it a valuable asset that requires ongoing monitoring and management to ensure its longevity and environmental impact are positive and sustainable.
Overall, Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond stands out as a notable water resource in North Carolina, serving a crucial role in aquaculture and local ecosystem management. While specific details about the pond's structural makeup are limited, its state-regulated status and significant hazard potential underscore the importance of regular inspections and risk assessments. Moving forward, continued diligence in monitoring and maintenance will be essential to safeguard the pond's integrity and environmental impact for the benefit of the surrounding community and ecosystem.
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 Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond
Where does the data for Rodenbeck Aquaculture Pond 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 Significant 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.
