Summary

This dam, standing at a height of 15 feet and a length of 500 feet, holds a storage capacity of 427.55 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 39.23 acre-feet. Situated on Flatlick Creek, this dam serves as a recreational spot for the community, offering a surface area of 12.45 acres for various water activities.

Managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, Chantilly Country Club Dam has been deemed to have a low hazard potential and is currently in a condition that has not been rated. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in October 2014, with an inspection frequency of every 1 year. While the dam is state-regulated and subject to permitting, inspection, and enforcement, it has not undergone any significant modifications since its completion.

The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is currently unknown, with the last revision dating back to September 2015. As a vital structure in the area, the Chantilly Country Club Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities while ensuring proper water resource management. Its location on Flatlick Creek adds to the overall environmental and climate significance of the dam for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
