Summary

This earth dam, with a hydraulic height of 9.7 feet and a structural height of 24.5 feet, serves the primary purpose of providing a recreational area for enthusiasts in the Mecklenburg County area. The dam holds a storage capacity of 25.5 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2.8 acres, making it a significant feature in the local landscape.

Despite its high hazard potential, Page's Pond Dam is currently deemed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in February 2020. The dam is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, ensuring that it meets state standards for safety and structural integrity. With a history that dates back to its completion year, the dam continues to be a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, providing both recreational opportunities and a critical source of water management for the region.

As climate change continues to impact water resources globally, the maintenance and upkeep of dams like Page's Pond Dam become increasingly vital. With the potential for extreme weather events and increased precipitation, ensuring the safety and functionality of these structures is paramount. Page's Pond Dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human recreation and environmental stewardship in the face of a changing climate.

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.
