Summary
2 Dam, located in Cabarrus, North Carolina, is a significant structure with a primary purpose of recreation. Standing at a structural height of 15 feet and a length of 162 feet, this earth dam sits on the Reedy Creek tributary and offers a storage capacity of 5 acre-feet. With a surface area of 0.8 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
While the dam is not state-regulated, it undergoes regular inspections and has been deemed to have a significant hazard potential. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam plays a vital role in the surrounding community. With a last inspection date in December 2018, it is important for authorities to continue monitoring and maintaining this dam to ensure the safety of both the structure and the individuals who utilize the recreational opportunities it provides.
As a part of the Wilmington District, Oak Hollow No. 2 Dam contributes to the overall water resource management in the area. With its unique location and purpose, this dam serves as a valuable asset for water storage and recreation, highlighting the importance of sustainable management practices and ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety and enjoyment of all who benefit from its presence.

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.
