Designed by the Virginia DCR - Division of Soil and Water Conservation, this earth dam stands at 53 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 53 feet, serving primarily for flood risk reduction along the Horse Pasture Creek. With a storage capacity of 985 acre-feet and a normal storage of 200 acre-feet, this dam covers a surface area of 20.2 acres and has a drainage area of 5.12 square miles.
Located in the Huntington District and regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, Horse Pasture Creek Dam #1c has been assessed to have a high hazard potential and a fair condition as of the last inspection in July 2019. The dam has not undergone any modifications since its completion, and its emergency action plan status is yet to be determined. Despite these factors, the dam remains a critical piece of infrastructure in managing flood risks in the region, underscoring the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety for the surrounding community and environment.
