Summary

Situated along the TR-Rappahannock River, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 9 feet and has a storage capacity of 164 acre-feet. While the condition assessment of the dam is currently not rated, it is inspected annually to ensure its safety and functionality for both irrigation and recreational purposes.

Owned by an unspecified entity, Corbin Hall Farm Dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia. Despite its undetermined hazard potential, the dam remains a vital resource for water management in the region. With its location along the river and its capacity for storing water, the dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and providing recreational opportunities for the community.

As an essential component of the water infrastructure in Middlesex, Corbin Hall Farm Dam serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns. With ongoing state regulation, inspection, and enforcement measures in place, the dam continues to play a significant role in ensuring the availability of water for irrigation and recreation while maintaining the safety and integrity of the surrounding area.

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.
