Summary
This earth dam structure stands at a height of 44 feet and spans 5818 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 952 acre-feet. The pond primarily serves as a raw water storage facility near the Roanoke River, with a normal storage level of 884 acre-feet and a surface area of 34 acres.
Regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, the Raw Water Storage Pond has been deemed to have low hazard potential and satisfactory condition during its last inspection in January 2020. With a state-mandated permit, inspection, and enforcement in place, the pond ensures safety and reliability for water supply purposes. While no modifications or risk assessments have been recorded recently, the structure continues to play a vital role in water management for the region.
As an essential part of the water infrastructure in Halifax County, the Raw Water Storage Pond not only provides a reliable source of raw water but also contributes to flood control and environmental conservation efforts. With its strategic location and efficient design, the pond stands as a testament to effective water resource management in Virginia, ensuring a sustainable and secure water supply for the community and beyond.

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.
