Summary

Completed in 1950, this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, creating a serene lake environment for visitors to enjoy. Standing at a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 14 feet, the dam has a length of 128 feet and a storage capacity of 185 acre-feet.

Situated on Mine Creek in Bladen County, Page Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in January 2013. With a normal storage capacity of 154 acre-feet and a surface area of 35 acres, the dam contributes to the overall hydrology of the region, managing a drainage area of 1888 acres. Despite not being state-regulated, the dam is subject to regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality for recreational use.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts are drawn to Page Lake Dam for its contribution to the local ecosystem and recreation opportunities. With its peaceful surroundings and low hazard potential, the dam provides a safe and enjoyable environment for visitors to engage in water-related activities. As a private structure, it stands as a testament to responsible ownership and maintenance practices in safeguarding water resources for future generations.

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.
