Summary

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. 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.
