Summary
Primarily serving as a recreation hub, this private-owned earth dam boasts a hydraulic height of 17.6 feet and a structural height of 23.6 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 269 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 28.5 acres and drains an expansive area of 2,869 acres.
Although the Deep Springs Country Club Dam has a low hazard potential and is considered to be in satisfactory condition, it last underwent a comprehensive inspection in December 2012. Despite not falling under state jurisdiction or regulation, the dam is diligently inspected by the appropriate authorities to ensure its continued safety and functionality. With its serene location and essential role in providing recreational opportunities, the dam serves as a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure in Rockingham County.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Deep Springs Country Club Dam offers a fascinating insight into the intricate network of dams and waterways that contribute to the environmental landscape of North Carolina. Its strategic location, structural specifications, and recreational significance make it a noteworthy landmark worth exploring for those passionate about the intersection of water resources, engineering, and environmental conservation.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
