This earth dam, standing at a height of 67 feet and spanning 2100 feet in length, serves primarily for flood risk reduction and water supply purposes along the Dry Run river. With a storage capacity of 1232 acre-feet and a surface area of 34 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing the water resources in the region.
Managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, Dry Run Dam #101 has a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition, as assessed during the last inspection in July 2020. The dam's emergency action plan, last revised in January 2016, ensures that necessary measures are in place for any potential risks. Despite not being under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam remains a vital asset for flood control and water management in the area, contributing to the overall resilience of the region's water resources and infrastructure.
Located within the Norfolk District and with Congressman Ben Cline representing the area, Dry Run Dam #101 stands as a testament to effective state-regulated water resource management. With its strategic position and significant impact on flood risk reduction in the region, the dam serves as a critical infrastructure for safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the challenges posed by climate change and water scarcity.
