Summary
Standing at a height of 33 feet and a length of 470 feet, this dam holds a storage capacity of 800 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 57 acre-feet. Situated on TR-CRUMP CREEK, this dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, with its last inspection dating back to December 1999. Despite its undetermined hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
The dam's location in Hanover, Virginia, positions it under the jurisdiction of the Norfolk District USACE, with no associated federal funding or agency ownership. While the risk assessment and management measures for Timberlake Dam #2 remain unspecified, its Emergency Action Plan was last revised in September 2002. With a surface area of 8 acres and a drainage area of 0.7 square miles, this dam offers recreational opportunities for the local community. However, with its condition assessment pending and hazard potential undetermined, stakeholders should remain vigilant and prepared in case of any emergency situations.
Although Timberlake Dam #2 serves primarily as a recreational structure, its maintenance and safety protocols must be closely monitored to ensure the protection of downstream communities and the environment. With its critical role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks, the dam's adherence to state regulations, inspection frequencies, and emergency preparedness plans is paramount. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, the resilience and effectiveness of dams like Timberlake Dam #2 will be crucial in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from potential hazards.

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.
