Summary
This private earth dam stands at a structural height of 20 feet and a hydraulic height of 16 feet, with a length of 498 feet. With a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a normal storage of 56 acre-feet, the dam provides water for agricultural purposes, contributing to the local economy and ecosystem.
Located in Moore County, the dam is regulated by the North Carolina Dam Safety Program, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is deemed to be in fair condition as of the last assessment in November 2016. With a maximum discharge of 140 cubic feet per second and a surface area of 6 acres, the Troy Lumber Company Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring its structural integrity for the benefit of the community.
As part of the Little River-TR system, the dam's presence in Lakeview not only supports agricultural activities but also helps maintain water levels for ecological balance. With ongoing inspections every five years and a commitment to state permitting and enforcement, the Troy Lumber Company Lake Dam exemplifies responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the vital role of such structures in sustaining ecosystems and livelihoods, underscoring the need for continued stewardship and investment in water infrastructure for a sustainable future.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
