Summary

This Earth-type dam was completed in 1994 and serves a primary purpose of "Other," with a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet. The lagoon has a hydraulic height of 28 feet and a structural height of 30 feet, situated on the Chock Ck-Tr stream within the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

With a surface area of 7 acres and a drainage area of 7.3 acres, Robinette Hog Lagoon plays a significant role in water management in the region. Despite being classified as having a "Fair" condition assessment as of 2017, the dam is deemed to have a "Significant" hazard potential. The lagoon is regulated and permitted by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, ensuring that it is regularly inspected, enforced, and maintained to meet safety standards.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Robinette Hog Lagoon represents a crucial piece of infrastructure in the Richmond County area. Its role in flood control, water storage, and environmental protection highlights the importance of proper dam management in safeguarding both human communities and natural ecosystems. As a privately-owned facility, it showcases the collaboration between public regulatory agencies and private entities in ensuring the sustainable use of water resources for the benefit of all stakeholders.

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.
