Summary

With a high hazard potential, the condition assessment for Cannon Run #4 is currently marked as "Not Rated," indicating the need for further evaluation to assess its safety and stability.

Situated along UT to Rocky River, Cannon Run #4 poses a potential risk to the surrounding area in Cabarrus County. Despite being in a high hazard category, the dam's condition assessment remains pending, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity. The dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status, including preparedness and revision dates, is yet to be determined, underscoring the need for proactive risk management measures.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts monitor Cannon Run #4's status, its location within a high-risk area emphasizes the importance of ongoing regulatory oversight and maintenance. With a comprehensive assessment pending and a high hazard potential, ensuring the dam's safety and adherence to state regulations is crucial for protecting the surrounding community and water resources in the region.

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.
