Summary
The dam spans 325 feet along the Little Johnson Creek-Tr, providing a surface area of 3 acres and a maximum discharge of 40 cubic feet per second. Despite being non-state regulated, the dam is inspected regularly and holds a significant hazard potential.
Constructed for recreational purposes, Camp Oak Hill Pond Dam offers a serene retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's primary purpose is to provide recreational opportunities, serving as a tranquil spot for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. While not rated for its condition, the dam poses a significant risk due to its hazard potential, emphasizing the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure safety for visitors and surrounding areas.
With the last inspection dating back to 2004, Camp Oak Hill Pond Dam stands as a peaceful oasis in Granville, North Carolina, under the ownership of a private entity. As water enthusiasts explore the area, they can appreciate the dam's contribution to the local ecosystem and its role in providing a space for outdoor recreation.

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.
