Summary

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.

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. 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

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, 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.
