Summary

Dam, located in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a private dam that serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Managed by the NCDEQ Dam Safety Program, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, with a length of 225 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet, making it a vital part of the House Creek-Tr ecosystem.

Even though Landmark Apts. Dam is primarily used for recreation, it is classified as having a high hazard potential with a fair condition assessment. The last inspection in December 2019 confirmed its structural integrity, but regular inspections are conducted every two years to ensure safety. The dam does not have any associated locks or spillways, and its emergency action plan was last reviewed in February 2019.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts in the Wake County area, Landmark Apts. Dam offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the importance of proper dam management. With its vital role in the local ecosystem and recreational value, this private dam serves as a landmark in the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
