Summary
The structure is situated along the UT to Coldwater Creek, serving a primary purpose classified as 'Other'. Although specific details about the dam's height, volume, and other physical characteristics are not provided, it is worth noting that the hazard potential associated with Charlotte Pipe Bmp #3 is considered high.
Despite the lack of detailed information on the dam's specifications, it is clear that Charlotte Pipe Bmp #3 poses a significant risk due to its high hazard potential. While the condition assessment is not rated, and no recent inspection date is available, the structure is subject to regular inspections every two years. The state regulatory agency overseeing Charlotte Pipe Bmp #3 is the NCDEQ Dam Safety Program, indicating a commitment to ensuring compliance with safety measures and enforcement.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Charlotte Pipe Bmp #3 presents an intriguing case study in dam safety and regulatory oversight. The structure's location in Stanly County, North Carolina, and its proximity to Coldwater Creek highlight the importance of monitoring and managing potential risks in water infrastructure. As efforts continue to mitigate hazards and enhance emergency preparedness, Charlotte Pipe Bmp #3 serves as a reminder of the critical role played by regulatory agencies in safeguarding our water resources.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
