Summary
These dams are situated along a tributary of Goode Creek and have a height of 12 feet, with a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet. While the primary purpose of these dams is not specified, they are subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring their compliance with safety regulations and maintenance standards.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the Minor Dams At Tate Estate remain under regular inspection, with an inspection frequency of 1 year. Emergency action plans and inundation maps have not been prepared or updated for these dams, highlighting a potential area for improvement in terms of risk management and emergency response. With their location in a region vulnerable to climate change impacts, water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in monitoring the safety and resilience of these structures in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
As part of the Norfolk District, these dams fall under the jurisdiction of Representative Abigail Davis Spanberger (D) and are crucial components of the local water infrastructure. The lack of specific details on purposes, dam types, and construction history indicates a need for further research and documentation on the Minor Dams At Tate Estate, offering a valuable opportunity for enthusiasts to delve deeper into the intersection of water resources, climate adaptation, and infrastructure management in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
