Edgehill Se Pond Dam dam
Edgehill Se Pond Dam
Edgehill Se Pond Dam, also known as Grahams Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Albemarle, Virginia. This dam, regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, serves as a crucial water supply for the area, with a primary purpose of water supply and also catering to recreational activities. With a height of 31 feet and a length of 165 feet, the dam holds a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and has a normal storage of 16 acre-feet. The dam, built in an earth type design, stands on TR-CAMP CREEK, contributing to the overall water resource management in the region.
Although the last inspection of the Edgehill Se Pond Dam dates back to 1979, its hazard potential is currently classified as undetermined, and the condition assessment remains unrated. Emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and risk assessment guidelines are yet to be updated for this structure. The risk management measures and inundation maps, crucial for mitigating potential risks associated with the dam, are also pending. Despite these gaps in assessment and planning, the Edgehill Se Pond Dam continues to play a vital role in water supply and recreation in the region, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance of water resource infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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 Edgehill Se Pond Dam
Where does the data for Edgehill Se Pond Dam 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 Undetermined 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.
