Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 dam
Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2
Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 is a water resource infrastructure located in Oakbrook, North Carolina, within Stanly County. This BMP is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The primary purpose of Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 is categorized as "Other," with a high hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated.
While specific details such as dam height, volume, and completion date are not provided, it is known that Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 is associated with the UT to Coldwater Creek waterway. The BMP has a history of regular inspections with a frequency of every 2 years, highlighting its importance in maintaining water quality and mitigating potential hazards. Despite not having an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps prepared, Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 remains a critical structure in the local water management system.
As a key contributor to water resource management in the area, Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 plays a vital role in safeguarding the environment and communities downstream. Its designation as a state-regulated structure underscores the importance of ensuring its integrity and functionality for the overall well-being of the region. Additionally, its high hazard potential emphasizes the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures to prevent any potential disasters and protect the surrounding ecosystem.

About Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2
Where does the data for Charlotte Pipe Bmp #2 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 below 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.

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.
