Summary

This earthfill dam, completed at an unknown date, serves as a vital water resource in the region, providing a normal storage capacity of 22 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 14 acres. Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of recent condition assessment, Stroud Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the area.

Located at a latitude of 34.1778 and longitude of -79.1224, Stroud Pond Dam's condition is currently not rated, with no specific emergency action plan in place. While the dam's risk assessment and management measures remain unspecified, its strategic position and volume make it a key component of the local water infrastructure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region are encouraged to monitor developments related to Stroud Pond Dam to ensure its continued effectiveness in mitigating water-related risks and fostering sustainable water management practices.

As a non-USACE-owned structure with no federal or state jurisdiction or regulation, Stroud Pond Dam's role in water resource management and climate resilience highlights the importance of community-based monitoring and maintenance efforts. Despite its lack of formal oversight, the dam's significance in supporting local water needs underscores the need for proactive measures to assess and address any potential hazards or risks associated with its operation. By staying informed and engaged in the upkeep of Stroud Pond Dam, water resource and climate enthusiasts can contribute to the long-term sustainability of this essential piece of water infrastructure.

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.
