Summary

Completed in 1947, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 26.2 feet and a structural height of 30 feet, with a length of 680 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 189 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 273 acre-feet, serving as a scenic and functional water resource in the area.

With a drainage area of 319 square miles and the Caraway Creek-Tr flowing nearby, Asheboro Country Club Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water management and flood control. The dam has a hazard potential rated as high, but its condition assessment as of December 2020 was fair. Regular state inspections and enforcement ensure the safety and integrity of the dam, with a state regulatory agency overseeing its permitting and operation.

The surrounding area benefits from the recreational opportunities provided by the lake, covering a surface area of 19.3 acres. Despite its age, Asheboro Country Club Lake Dam continues to be a vital part of the local landscape, offering both leisure and practical water resource management for the community.

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. 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

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, 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.
