Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4 dam
Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4
Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4 is a critical water resource infrastructure project located in Wake County, North Carolina. Owned by a public utility, this facility is regulated by the state and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental regulations. The dam, classified as an Earth type, serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a high hazard potential, but is currently assessed to be in satisfactory condition.
With a history of reliable operation, Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4 plays a crucial role in water management in the region. The facility is situated within the Wilmington District and falls under the jurisdiction of various state regulatory agencies including NCDEQ and DEMLR's Dam Safety Program. Despite having a high hazard potential, the dam has been deemed to meet safety guidelines, with emergency action plans in place to address any unforeseen risks or incidents.
As a key component of the state's water infrastructure, Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4 contributes to the overall water resource management in North Carolina. With a focus on safety and compliance, the facility is subject to regular inspections and assessments to ensure its continued functionality and adherence to regulatory standards. The presence of a reliable emergency action plan underscores the commitment to safeguarding the surrounding community and environment in the event of any emergencies or potential risks associated with the dam.

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 Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4
Where does the data for Duke Energy Garner Nta Yard Expansion Swmf #4 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.
