Huneycutt Pig Farm Dam dam
Huneycutt Pig Farm Dam
Huneycutt Pig Farm Dam, located in Stanly County, North Carolina, is a critical water resource structure designed for fish and wildlife pond purposes. This earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, with a length of 309 feet and a storage capacity of 29 acre-feet. The dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem, providing essential habitat and supporting the conservation of biodiversity in the area.
Managed and regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Dam Safety Program, Huneycutt Pig Farm Dam undergoes regular inspection and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With a high hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is monitored closely to mitigate any risks and ensure the protection of surrounding communities and ecosystems. The last inspection in March 2021 reported the dam's condition as fair, highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and risk management measures for this vital water resource structure.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and ecosystems, the role of Huneycutt Pig Farm Dam in maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment becomes increasingly significant. With its strategic location in Albemarle, the dam serves as a critical component in water management and conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of responsible stewardship and proactive measures to safeguard this essential resource for current and future generations of wildlife and communities in North Carolina.

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 Huneycutt Pig Farm Dam
Where does the data for Huneycutt Pig Farm 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.
