Summary
Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 is a crucial facility for managing and treating wastewater in the area. Completed in 2008, this Earth-type dam structure stands at a structural height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 15 acre-feet. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is in satisfactory condition and is regularly inspected by state regulatory agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental standards.
Operated by the local government, this offstream dam plays a vital role in the treatment and disposal of wastewater in the region. With a history of meeting regulatory requirements and undergoing regular inspections, the Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 serves as a key infrastructure for maintaining water quality and protecting the environment. As part of the state's regulatory framework, the dam is subject to oversight from agencies such as NCDEQ and DEMLR, ensuring that it operates safely and efficiently.
In the event of emergencies, the dam has an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to guide response efforts and mitigate risks. With a focus on public safety and environmental protection, the Mt. Olive Waste Water Treatment Plant #2 stands as a critical resource for water management and climate resilience in the region, reflecting a commitment to sustainable infrastructure and effective wastewater treatment practices.

Dam Data Reference
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.
