Summary
Completed in 1976, this rockfill dam structure on the Little River in Cumberland, North Carolina, stands at an impressive 19 feet in height and stretches 84 feet in length. With a primary purpose of water supply, the plant boasts a storage capacity of 122 acre feet, ensuring a reliable source of clean water for its surrounding areas.
Despite its low hazard potential, the Water Treatment Plant undergoes regular inspections every four years, with the last assessment conducted in August 2020. The facility features an uncontrolled spillway and vertical lift outlet gates, emphasizing its commitment to safety and efficient water management. While the condition assessment is currently unavailable, the plant maintains a moderate risk level (3), prompting the need for continued risk management measures to ensure its operational longevity and functionality in the face of potential climate challenges.
Overall, the Water Treatment Plant stands as a critical component of the region's water infrastructure, providing essential services to the community while prioritizing safety and risk management. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it's important to recognize the significance of facilities like these in ensuring sustainable water supply and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. With its strategic location, efficient design, and diligent maintenance practices, the Water Treatment Plant represents a model for responsible water management in the midst of a dynamic and evolving climate landscape.

Dam Data Reference
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.
