Summary

With a hydraulic height of 24.8 feet and a structural height of 26 feet, this earthen dam stands at 300 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 3 acres and a drainage area of 45 square miles.

Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment as of December 2014, Collins Dam does not fall under state regulation or permitting. The dam has been inspected for safety, with no enforcement actions required. With a maximum discharge capacity of 60 cubic feet per second, the dam poses minimal risk and is not under the jurisdiction of any federal or state agencies for funding, design, construction, or regulation.

Collins Dam represents a serene recreational spot in Guilford County, providing opportunities for outdoor activities and water-related enjoyment. Located within a peaceful natural setting, this dam offers a safe and well-maintained environment for visitors to appreciate the beauty of Reddicks Creek-Tr.

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.
