Former Tivette Farm Dam dam
Former Tivette Farm Dam
Former Tivette Farm Dam, located in Caroline, Virginia, is a state-regulated structure managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The dam, with a height of 15 feet and a length of 500 feet, serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along tributary No. Anna River. The dam has a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet and is primarily used for the conservation of fish and wildlife in the area.
Despite being in good condition and with an undetermined hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The inspection frequency is set at 1, with emergency preparedness plans yet to be developed. The risk management measures and related assessment are also pending, highlighting the need for proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
Former Tivette Farm Dam holds promise as a valuable resource for the local ecosystem, providing essential habitat for fish and wildlife in the area. As a state-regulated structure, it is important for stakeholders to prioritize regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness to mitigate potential risks and ensure the continued functionality of the dam. With its strategic location and purpose, the dam plays a crucial role in supporting the conservation efforts in Caroline, Virginia, making it a significant point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Former Tivette Farm Dam
Where does the data for Former Tivette 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 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.
