Summary

Standing at a structural height of 16.6 feet with a hydraulic height of 14.3 feet, this dam plays a crucial role in providing water storage for the surrounding area. With a normal storage capacity of 9 acre-feet and a surface area of 1.4 acres, the dam serves as a vital resource for the Hog Branch Tributary.

Despite its fair condition assessment, Glen Oaks Golf Course Dam B has been deemed to have a high hazard potential. The dam is regularly inspected by the North Carolina Dam Safety Program, with the last inspection taking place in December 2020. The dam has a designated inspection frequency of 2 years to ensure its safety and integrity. While the dam currently meets regulatory standards, ongoing risk management measures are essential to mitigate any potential hazards associated with its operation.

Overall, Glen Oaks Golf Course Dam B serves as a valuable asset for water storage and recreational purposes in the area. Its maintenance and safety are of utmost importance to ensure the protection of downstream communities and the environment. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the responsible management of dams like Glen Oaks Golf Course Dam B plays a crucial role in safeguarding our water supply and adapting to changing environmental conditions.

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.
