Summary
This Earth-type lagoon has a hydraulic height of 31.2 feet and a structural height of 33.7 feet, with a total length of 1500 feet. The lagoon has a storage capacity of 306 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres.
The dam is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, with regular inspections conducted to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. The last inspection in December 2019 deemed the dam to be in satisfactory condition, although it has a significant hazard potential. Despite its private ownership, the lagoon plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to prevent any potential risks.
With the oversight of the state regulatory agency and the involvement of local representatives like G. K. Butterfield, this lagoon serves as a vital infrastructure for water storage and management in North Carolina. Its strategic location and capacity make it a key asset for environmental conservation and climate resilience efforts in the region, showcasing the significance of private water structures in addressing the challenges of water resource management and climate change.

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.
