Summary
Standing at a height of 20 feet and stretching 500 feet in length, this earth-type dam serves primarily for recreational purposes along the Glascock Run river. With a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet, it offers a serene setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy various water activities.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not yet rated for its condition, the Glascock Run Dam remains a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Managed by private owners, this dam is regularly inspected and regulated by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. While lacking certain risk assessment and emergency preparedness measures, the dam continues to provide a picturesque backdrop for leisure and relaxation in the surrounding area.
As part of the Baltimore District, the Glascock Run Dam contributes to the overall water resource management in the region. With its modest size and focus on recreation, this dam serves as a valuable asset for the community and a reminder of the importance of sustainable water utilization in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
