Greif Sludge Pond #2 Dam, located in Amherst, Virginia, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Standing at a height of 42 feet, this earth dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control, with a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet and a surface area of 6.3 acres. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition was assessed as satisfactory during the last inspection in October 2019.
While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is subject to regular inspections with a frequency of once a year to ensure its safety and structural integrity. The emergency action plan (EAP) for the Greif Sludge Pond #2 Dam was last revised in May 2009, and although the risk assessment and management measures are currently unspecified, the dam is equipped to handle potential emergencies. With its unique purpose and location in the Norfolk District, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns.
