Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond dam
Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond
The Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond in Wake County, North Carolina, is a privately-owned earth dam completed in 2007 for the primary purpose of irrigation. With a structural height of 35.2 feet and a length of 1200 feet, this storage pond has a capacity of 76 acre-feet and is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as fair, with the last inspection conducted in February 2020.
Located at a latitude of 35.9992 and a longitude of -78.5883, the Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond is a crucial resource for water management in the area. It falls under the jurisdiction of the state and is subject to regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The dam's design and construction, as well as its operational efficiency, play a significant role in supporting agricultural activities and maintaining water resources in Wake County.
Overall, the Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond serves as a vital infrastructure for sustainable water use in Wake County, North Carolina. As a key component of the local irrigation system, this earth dam provides essential water storage capabilities for agricultural purposes while being closely monitored and regulated by state authorities. The fair condition assessment and low hazard potential highlight the importance of ongoing maintenance and risk management to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this critical water resource in the region.

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 Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond
Where does the data for Hasentree Irrigation Storage Pond 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 Low 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.
