With a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a structural height of 14 feet, the concrete dam spans 400 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 26 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of water supply and is not regulated by the state, although it undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and integrity.
Although the condition of Mcadenville Pond Dam is listed as "Not Rated," its hazard potential is considered significant. The last inspection was conducted in November 2018, and while the dam has not been modified in recent years, emergency preparedness plans and risk management measures are not clearly documented. The dam does not have a designated Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or updated inundation maps, raising potential concerns about its ability to effectively respond to emergencies.
Despite its lack of state regulation and enforcement, Mcadenville Pond Dam plays a crucial role in providing water supply to the surrounding area. Its location along the Catawba River and significant hazard potential highlight the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the structure and the community it serves.
