Carolina Country Club Water Harvesting Pond Dam dam
Carolina Country Club Water Harvesting Pond Dam
Carolina Country Club Water Harvesting Pond Dam is a private water resource structure located in Raleigh, North Carolina. Built in 2013 for irrigation purposes, this earth dam stands offstream of Beaverdam Creek, serving as a vital reservoir for water storage. The dam is regulated and inspected by the NC Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, ensuring its safe and efficient operation.
Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in December 2020. Regular inspections are conducted every two years to maintain its structural integrity and safety standards. While the specific dimensions and storage capacity of the dam are not provided, its significance lies in its role as a water harvesting facility for the Carolina Country Club and surrounding areas.
As a vital component of water resource management in Wake County, the Carolina Country Club Water Harvesting Pond Dam serves as a testament to private sector involvement in sustainable water conservation efforts. Its presence highlights the importance of infrastructure like dams in ensuring reliable water sources for irrigation and other purposes, especially in regions prone to drought and water scarcity. The dam's adherence to regulatory standards and safety protocols underscores its crucial role in safeguarding the local environment and community against potential hazards.
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 Carolina Country Club Water Harvesting Pond Dam
Where does the data for Carolina Country Club Water Harvesting 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.
