Summary

Standing at a height of 21 feet and stretching 701 feet in length, this dam has a storage capacity of 111.4 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the area. The dam is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, ensuring that it meets state inspection, enforcement, and permitting requirements.

Despite its importance for water supply, the condition assessment of Meadow Grove Farm #2 Dam is currently rated as "Not Rated", with an undetermined hazard potential. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment details are also not available at this time. However, with its critical role in maintaining water resources for the region, it is vital that the dam's safety and maintenance are regularly monitored and managed to prevent any potential risks or hazards.

As a key infrastructure for water supply, Meadow Grove Farm #2 Dam plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability of water resources for the surrounding area. With its proximity to the Un-named Tr to Dog Branch river or stream, the dam's strategic location highlights its significance in supporting both recreational activities and essential water needs. While the dam's exact completion date and modifications remain unknown, its continued operation and maintenance are essential for safeguarding water security and resilience in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
