Summary
Pitts Dam and Old Campbell's Dam, is a private-owned structure located in Caroline, Virginia. Managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, this earth dam stands at 26 feet high and stretches 620 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes. Situated along the tributary Beverly Run, the dam has a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet, making it a crucial element in the region's water resource management.
Despite its undetermined hazard potential and current condition assessment being ungraded, Timberlake Dam has undergone regular inspections with a frequency of one per year. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures remain undisclosed, suggesting a need for further evaluation and preparedness. With its strategic location and importance for recreation, the dam serves as a focal point for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates interested in understanding its role in the local ecosystem.
As a prominent feature in the Baltimore District, Timberlake Dam is closely monitored for any potential risks and emergency response readiness. As enthusiasts and researchers delve into the intricacies of water resource management and climate resilience, studying the operation and condition of this private dam becomes essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment. The intriguing history and purpose of Timberlake Dam offer a fascinating exploration for those passionate about the intersection of water resources, infrastructure, and climate adaptation.

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.
