This earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 23 feet. The dam encompasses a surface area of 6 acres and has a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, providing valuable recreational opportunities in the region.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in a "Not Rated" condition, it undergoes regular inspections by the NCDEQ Dam Safety Program. The most recent inspection took place in April 2004, with an inspection frequency of every five years. While the dam lacks a detailed condition assessment and Emergency Action Plan (EAP) preparation, it remains a significant feature within the local watershed, contributing to the overall environmental and recreational landscape of Wake County.
With its proximity to urban areas and the potential risks associated with dam failure, continued monitoring and maintenance of the Ncsu Hillsborough Street Pond Dam are essential. By staying vigilant and ensuring compliance with state regulations, stakeholders can uphold the dam's structural integrity and safeguard its surrounding communities and natural habitats from any potential threats or emergencies.
