Fluvanna County Dam #10 Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 11, 2026
Fluvanna County Dam #10, located in Fluvanna, Virginia, is a state-regulated dam with a height of 17.5 feet and a storage capacity of 67.97 acre-feet.
Summary
The dam, part of the Norfolk District, serves a primary purpose that is not specified in the available data. Despite being state-regulated and inspected, its hazard potential and condition assessment remain undetermined and not rated, respectively.
The dam, owned by an entity not listed in the information provided, has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) and lacks specific risk assessment and management measures. The structure, constructed with a length of 350 feet, poses an unknown level of risk due to the absence of detailed hazard and condition evaluations. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and meeting of guidelines for the dam are also not specified, raising questions about the preparedness for potential emergencies and the level of public safety measures in place for this water resource.
Fluvanna County Dam #10, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, remains a notable feature in the region, yet with several key aspects left unassessed and unclassified. Its location, with a latitude of 37.8106 and longitude of -78.3111, underscores the importance of continued monitoring and evaluation to ensure the safety and integrity of this water resource in the face of potential climate-related challenges.

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.
