1, located in Loudoun, Virginia, is a private dam primarily built for flood risk reduction along the Broad Run tributary. With a height of 20 feet and a length of 575 feet, it has a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 15.5 acre-feet. The dam is under state regulation and jurisdiction, with the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia responsible for permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite its importance in flood risk management, the condition of Aol Dam No. 1 is currently not rated, and its hazard potential is undetermined. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps are not available. While the dam meets state regulatory requirements, there are still areas of improvement in terms of risk assessment and management measures. As a key infrastructure in the region, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of Aol Dam No. 1 are crucial to ensure its effectiveness in flood control and to safeguard the surrounding communities from potential risks.
