Roxboro Fgd Forward Flush Pond Dam dam
Roxboro Fgd Forward Flush Pond Dam
The Roxboro Fgd Forward Flush Pond Dam, located in Person, North Carolina, stands as a crucial infrastructure designed for flood risk reduction along Sargents Creek. Completed in 2008, this earth dam reaches a hydraulic height of 31 feet and a structural height of 36 feet, spanning a length of 1529 feet. With a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet, it covers a surface area of 3.2 acres, contributing to the overall water resource management in the region.
Managed by the Public Utility, this dam is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Dam Safety Program, ensuring that it meets safety standards and inspections regularly. Despite its high hazard potential, recent assessments have deemed its condition as satisfactory, providing reassurance for its ability to withstand potential emergencies. The dam's operational efficiency and compliance with guidelines highlight its importance in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the surrounding communities.
As a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, the Roxboro Fgd Forward Flush Pond Dam serves as a significant asset in flood risk reduction efforts. Its strategic location, design, and storage capacity underscore its role in safeguarding against potential hazards and ensuring the sustainable management of water resources in the region. With continued monitoring and maintenance, this dam remains a key player in climate resilience and water security initiatives in North Carolina.

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 Roxboro Fgd Forward Flush Pond Dam
Where does the data for Roxboro Fgd Forward Flush Pond 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.
