It was completed in 1997 and serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene spot for outdoor activities. The dam is situated on the Mallard Creek-Tr river and stands at a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, with a length of 320 feet.
Managed by the North Carolina Dam Safety Program, the dam is regularly inspected to ensure its safety and structural integrity. The last inspection in December 2019 deemed its condition as satisfactory, although it has a high hazard potential. With a storage capacity of 12 acre-feet, the dam provides vital water storage for the surrounding area, while also offering a picturesque backdrop for visitors to enjoy.
Despite its recreational appeal, the University Place On The Green Dam serves as a crucial water resource in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Its presence not only enhances the local landscape but also contributes to water management efforts in the region. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, understanding the significance of such structures is essential in ensuring the preservation and sustainable utilization of our natural resources.
