Hall Dam dam
Hall Dam
Hall Dam, located in Campbell, Virginia, is a privately owned structure primarily used for recreation. The dam, classified as an Earth type, stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. Situated on TR-BEAVER CREEK, the dam is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, ensuring proper inspection, permitting, and enforcement measures are in place to maintain its safety and compliance.
While the hazard potential of Hall Dam is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, it serves the community for irrigation and recreational purposes. With a history that dates back to an undisclosed completion year, the dam continues to offer opportunities for outdoor activities in the region. Despite lacking specific details on its dimensions, such as length and volume, the dam remains a key feature in the local landscape, providing both environmental and recreational benefits to residents and visitors alike.
Under the representation of Denver Riggleman (R), the dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Although certain aspects, such as emergency action plans and risk assessments, are not specified in the available data, Hall Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the region. As enthusiasts in these fields explore the intersection of infrastructure, regulation, and recreation, Hall Dam serves as a focal point for understanding the intricate balance between human development and environmental stewardship.
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 Hall Dam
Where does the data for Hall 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 Undetermined 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.
