Summary

The dam stands at a structural height of 15.2 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9.3 feet, with a storage capacity of 15 acre-feet. Situated on Beaverdam Creek Tributary, this dam serves as a vital recreational resource for the local community, offering a serene setting for activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.

While the dam is regulated by the NC Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program and undergoes regular inspections, it carries a high hazard potential. Despite this, the most recent assessment conducted in January 2020 deemed the dam's condition to be satisfactory. Emergency action plans have been prepared, and the dam meets regulatory guidelines, ensuring that necessary measures are in place to mitigate risks and protect surrounding areas from potential inundation events. Overall, Berewick Farm Pond Dam #2 serves as a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts, providing both recreational opportunities and a safe environment for the community.

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.
