Indian Development Corp. Dam dam
Indian Development Corp. Dam
The Indian Development Corp. Dam is a private-owned structure located in Pamlico, North Carolina, along the Alligator Gut river. Built in 1985, this earth-type dam stands at a hydraulic height of 12.3 feet and a structural height of 14.3 feet, with a total length of 220 feet. Despite its relatively small size, the dam serves as a vital recreational spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a serene setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.
With a maximum storage capacity of 75 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 57 acre-feet, the Indian Development Corp. Dam provides essential water resources for the surrounding area. Although it has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. While there are no associated structures or locks with the dam, its presence adds value to the community by offering a peaceful retreat and contributing to the overall environmental landscape of the region.
In the event of an emergency, it is important for the dam to have a prepared Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information for emergency responders. While details about the EAP status and risk management measures are not provided in the data, the Indian Development Corp. Dam remains a significant landmark in the area, highlighting the intersection between water resource management, recreational opportunities, and climate resilience.
Dam data reference
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 Indian Development Corp. Dam
Where does the data for Indian Development Corp. Dam 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 Low 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.
