Summary
Managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, this earth-type dam stands at 21 feet tall and spans 500 feet in length along the TR-Mountain Run. With a primary purpose of recreation, Troiano Dam offers a storage capacity of 168 acre-feet and a surface area of 14.6 acres, making it an ideal spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore.
Despite being classified with a significant hazard potential, the condition of Troiano Dam has not been rated as of its last inspection in February 2017. The dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations. With its picturesque location and ample storage capacity, Troiano Dam provides a unique opportunity for outdoor activities and study of water resource management in the region.
For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience, Troiano Dam offers a fascinating case study in private dam ownership and state regulation. As a recreational structure with a significant hazard potential, the dam presents both opportunities and challenges in maintaining its safety and functionality. With its strategic location along the TR-Mountain Run and a capacity of 168 acre-feet, Troiano Dam serves as a valuable asset for both recreation and conservation efforts in Culpeper, Virginia.

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.
