Summary
With a height of 23 feet, this dam on the tributary Ivy Creek has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. While the primary purpose of Cherry Hill Dam is not specified in the data, its hazard potential is marked as "Undetermined" and its condition assessment is "Not Rated."
Despite lacking specific details on the dam's construction year and purposes, Cherry Hill Dam's presence contributes to water resource management in the region. As a part of the Baltimore District, it falls under the jurisdiction of federal representative Denver Riggleman. The dam's state-regulated status ensures that it undergoes regular inspections, with a frequency of once per year, to maintain its structural integrity and safety standards.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Cherry Hill Dam can explore its location at the coordinates 38.044 latitude and -78.5744 longitude. Although certain information, such as the dam's length and volume, is not provided in the dataset, the dam's significance in the local watershed and its interaction with the surrounding environment make it a compelling subject for further research and study in the realm of water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
