Moody Bridge Partners Dam dam
Moody Bridge Partners Dam
Moody Bridge Partners Dam, also known as Doug Lacy Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Jackson, North Carolina. Situated along the UT to Tuckaseigee river or stream, this rockfill dam serves the primary purpose of recreation, offering a picturesque spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. Although not regulated by the state and lacking specific details on height and storage capacity, the dam presents a high hazard potential and has not been formally rated for its condition since a 2008 inspection.
Despite its lack of recent assessments, Moody Bridge Partners Dam remains a captivating destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking recreational opportunities in North Carolina. The dam's location in the beautiful Jackson County adds to its allure, providing visitors with a scenic backdrop for activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. While details on the dam's construction, volume, and discharge capabilities are limited, its historical significance and potential risks contribute to its mystique as a unique landmark in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the Moody Bridge Partners Dam, they can appreciate its role in providing recreational enjoyment while also being mindful of its high hazard potential. With a focus on safety and conservation efforts, visitors can engage in responsible practices to protect this historic structure and the surrounding environment. While more detailed information on the dam's specifications may be lacking, its enduring presence along the Tuckaseigee river serves as a reminder of the intersection between human ingenuity and the natural world.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Moody Bridge Partners Dam
Where does the data for Moody Bridge Partners Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
