Summary

2, located in Wagram, North Carolina, is a private earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam, with a hydraulic height of 31 feet and a structural height of 35 feet, spans a length of 820 feet and has a storage capacity of 210 acre-feet. Situated on Quewhiffle Creek-Tr, the dam is regulated by the NCDEQ Dam Safety Program and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its fair condition and low hazard potential.

With a drainage area of 338 acres and a surface area of 15 acres, Legacy Golf Links Dam No. 2 serves as a key feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the Moore County area. While the dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, it poses a moderate risk according to a risk assessment rating of 3. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been modified in recent years and meets regulatory guidelines for emergency action plans and inundation maps.

Overall, Legacy Golf Links Dam No. 2 stands as a crucial structure for recreation and water management in North Carolina, providing a valuable resource for the surrounding community. Its sturdy construction, regular inspections, and compliance with state regulations ensure the safety and integrity of this earth dam for both recreational and environmental purposes, making it a significant asset in the region's water infrastructure.

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.
