Martin Dam (Tbd) dam
Martin Dam (Tbd)
Martin Dam (Tbd) in Stanly, North Carolina, is a state-regulated structure with a high hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated. While the dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," it is categorized as an earth dam type. The dam does not have a specified height, length, volume, or storage capacity, indicating that its specifications are currently unknown.
Despite the lack of detailed information on Martin Dam (Tbd), it is clear that the structure falls under the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Dam Safety Program. The dam is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, highlighting the importance of regulatory oversight in ensuring the safety and integrity of water resources in the area. With an emergency action plan status unknown and a hazard potential of high, it is essential for stakeholders and authorities to monitor and address any potential risks associated with the dam.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to follow developments related to Martin Dam (Tbd), there is a need for further data and assessments to determine the structure's current condition and potential risks. With the dam's location in Stanly, North Carolina, and its state-regulated status, ongoing monitoring and management efforts will be crucial in safeguarding the surrounding communities and environment from any potential hazards or emergencies that may arise.
Dam data reference
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 Martin Dam (Tbd)
Where does the data for Martin Dam (Tbd) 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.
