Summary
This dam stands at 40 feet high with a length of 440 feet, providing a storage capacity of 657 acre-feet for water activities on its 27-acre surface area. Despite its low hazard potential, the Department of Conservation and Recreation regulates and inspects the dam periodically to ensure its structural integrity.
Located in the Baltimore District, Deep Run Farm Dam is under the jurisdiction of state regulatory agencies with permits and inspections in place to maintain safety standards. While the dam's condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," its last inspection in August 2016 deemed it to have a low hazard potential. With Denver Riggleman as the Congressional Representative, the dam serves as a crucial water resource for the surrounding area, offering recreational opportunities while adhering to state regulations for its operation and maintenance.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Deep Run Farm Dam as a vital structure for recreational purposes in Virginia. With its strategic location and storage capacity, the dam provides a safe environment for water-related activities while being regulated and inspected by state authorities to ensure public safety. As a privately owned earth dam, Deep Run Farm Dam stands as a testament to responsible water management practices in the region, benefiting both locals and visitors alike.

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.
