Angier Wastewater Dike dam
Angier Wastewater Dike
The Angier Wastewater Dike in North Carolina, completed in 1985, serves as a crucial structure for managing water resources in the region. This earth dam stands at a structural height of 16 feet, with a hydraulic height of 12 feet, and has a capacity to store 25.6 acre-feet of water. Situated along the Black River-Os, the dike plays a significant role in regulating water levels and ensuring water quality for the surrounding areas.
Owned by a public utility, the Angier Wastewater Dike is inspected regularly to maintain its satisfactory condition and mitigate potential hazards. Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam has been deemed to meet safety guidelines, with emergency preparedness measures in place. The dam's primary purpose goes beyond flood control, highlighting its importance in water management and climate resilience efforts in Harnett County. As a key piece of infrastructure in the region, the dike showcases the intersection of water resource management and environmental stewardship.
With its strategic location in Dunn, North Carolina, the Angier Wastewater Dike stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance water resource utilization with environmental conservation. Its role in safeguarding the local community from flooding events and ensuring sustainable water supply underscores the importance of effective infrastructure for climate adaptation. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and advocate for sustainable practices, the Angier Wastewater Dike serves as a focal point for understanding the intricate relationship between water management, climate resilience, and community well-being.

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 Angier Wastewater Dike
Where does the data for Angier Wastewater Dike 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 Significant 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.
