Gaddy Goose Pond Dam dam
Gaddy Goose Pond Dam
Situated in Anson, North Carolina, the Gaddy Goose Pond Dam is a privately owned structure designed for recreational purposes with a primary focus on providing water-based activities. Completed in 1968, this earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 16 feet, with a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a length of 1200 feet. The dam's reservoir has a normal storage capacity of 42 acre-feet, servicing a drainage area of 19 square miles, making it a vital water resource for the local community.
Although the Gaddy Goose Pond Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently assessed to be in fair condition, regular inspections ensure its safety and structural integrity. The last inspection in February 2017 confirmed its compliance with safety standards, with an inspection frequency of 0 indicating periodic checks for any potential risks. The dam's location along the Canal Branch Brown Creek-Os river system in Cheraw Sc highlights its importance in providing water storage, recreational opportunities, and contributing to the local ecosystem.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the Gaddy Goose Pond Dam's role in water management and its impact on the surrounding environment. Its presence serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human infrastructure development and natural resource conservation, making it a significant structure in the region's water management network. As efforts continue to ensure its safety and functionality, the dam remains a key feature in the local landscape, offering a blend of recreational activities and ecological significance for the community to enjoy and appreciate.

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 Gaddy Goose Pond Dam
Where does the data for Gaddy Goose Pond 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 Low 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.
