Summary
This lagoon serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other," with a dam type categorized as Earth. The lagoon was completed in 1990 and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet, providing a storage capacity of 19.2 acre-feet. The surface area of the lagoon spans 2 acres, making it a significant water resource within the region.
With a significant hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, Cameron Morrison Lagoon plays a crucial role in water management and climate resilience efforts in the area. Although the last inspection was conducted in 2013, the lagoon's risk assessment, emergency action plan status, and inundation map readiness remain unknown. Despite these gaps in information, the lagoon's presence and importance in the local water infrastructure cannot be understated, especially given its critical role in managing water resources and mitigating climate-related risks.
As a key component of the water infrastructure in Richmond, North Carolina, Cameron Morrison Lagoon stands as a testament to the importance of private water resources in the region. With a structural height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 19.2 acre-feet, this lagoon represents a vital resource for water enthusiasts and climate advocates alike. Moving forward, continued monitoring, assessment, and risk management measures will be essential to ensure the lagoon's long-term sustainability and effectiveness in water resource management and climate adaptation efforts.

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.
