Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm Dam dam
Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm Dam
The Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm Dam in Cabarrus, North Carolina, is a significant water resource structure with a primary purpose listed as "Other." The dam, built with Earth as the material type, spans the UT to Far Branch river or stream. While details like dam height, volume, and completion year are not provided, the dam is inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted on October 20, 2020, indicating a commitment to safety and maintenance.
Despite being a non-federally regulated structure, the Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm Dam holds a significant hazard potential, emphasizing the importance of its condition assessment and emergency preparedness. The dam is not currently rated for its condition, but steps towards risk management and emergency action planning could enhance its safety and resilience. With its strategic location within the industrial park, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate resilience will find the Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm Dam an intriguing subject of study. Its unique characteristics, such as being Earth-built and associated with the UT to Far Branch waterway, offer insights into local water management practices. The dam's hazard potential and lack of federal regulation also present opportunities for further research into risk assessment and mitigation strategies in non-federally regulated water structures.
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 Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm Dam
Where does the data for Midland Multi-Modal Industrial Park Swm 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 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.
