Summary
Managed by the US Army, the dam was completed in 1973 and serves primarily for recreational purposes, including fishing and wildlife enjoyment. The pond's earth dam type with stone core stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet.
With a surface area of 8 acres and a maximum discharge rate of 88 cubic feet per second, Beaver Pond offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts to appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding Wrights Run Tr stream. Despite its low hazard potential, the pond is subject to regular inspections every four years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. While the exact condition of the dam is not currently available, the US Army continues to oversee its operations, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
Beaver Pond represents a vital water resource within the Caroline County, Virginia area, providing a serene environment for recreational activities while also supporting wildlife and natural habitats. As a federally-owned and operated facility, the pond exemplifies the importance of responsible water management practices in safeguarding our precious natural resources amidst a changing climate landscape. With its rich history and scenic beauty, Beaver Pond serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between water resources, climate considerations, and sustainable recreation opportunities for all to enjoy.

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.
