Summary
This Earth dam has a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet and is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Conservation and Recreation. While the dam's primary purpose is not specified, it serves as a key feature in managing water resources in the area.
Despite being labeled as "undetermined" in terms of hazard potential and "not rated" in condition assessment, Club Dam undergoes regular inspections with a frequency of once a year. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and other risk management measures are also not specified. The dam is not owned by a federal agency and has no associated federal funding or construction.
Overall, Club Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of state-regulated structures in managing water flow and storage. With its location in Albemarle County and the oversight of the Department of Conservation and Recreation, this Earth dam plays a vital role in the local water infrastructure. Further research and analysis could provide valuable insights into the impact of Club Dam on the surrounding environment and communities.

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.
