Hedrick Talings Dike #1 dam
Hedrick Talings Dike #1
Hedrick Talings Dike #1, also known as Mud Pond Impoundment #1, is a significant structure located in Lilesville, North Carolina, along the Island Creek. This dike serves as a containment structure for tailings, showcasing the crucial role it plays in managing water resources and environmental protection. Despite not being state-regulated, the dike undergoes regular inspections to ensure safety and functionality.
While specific details such as dam height, volume, and completion year are not provided for Hedrick Talings Dike #1, its hazard potential is noted as significant. The condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation. The dike's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are yet to be documented, suggesting areas for improvement in terms of preparedness and response protocols.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Hedrick Talings Dike #1 intriguing due to its unique purpose in managing tailings and its location within the Anson County landscape. The dike's significance in water resource management, along with its hazard potential and condition assessment, presents an opportunity for further exploration and study in the realm of environmental protection and infrastructure resilience. As the dike continues to be inspected and monitored, there is potential for future enhancements and risk mitigation measures to be implemented, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of this critical structure.
Dam data reference
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 Hedrick Talings Dike #1
Where does the data for Hedrick Talings Dike #1 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 Significant 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.
