Summary

Owned by an unspecified entity, this BMP is overseen by the NC Department of Environmental Quality and the Dam Safety Program. Despite lacking specific details on its design and purpose, this BMP is marked with a high hazard potential, indicating the need for regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure public safety and environmental protection.

While the exact dimensions and features of Charlotte Pipe Bmp #1 remain undisclosed, its classification as a high-risk structure underscores the critical role it plays in water resource management and climate resilience. With a mandated inspection frequency of 2, this BMP is subject to frequent evaluations to assess its condition and address any potential risks. The lack of a formal condition assessment suggests that ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to mitigate hazards and prevent potential emergencies.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts delve deeper into understanding Charlotte Pipe Bmp #1, questions around its design, capacity, and operational history may arise. Despite the absence of detailed information, the high hazard potential associated with this BMP highlights the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness in safeguarding communities and ecosystems. Further research and engagement with regulatory agencies may shed light on the specific challenges and opportunities linked to this critical infrastructure.

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.
