Summary
The dam has a storage capacity of 63.91 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 42 feet. Although the dam's hazard potential is currently listed as undetermined and its condition has not been rated, it is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia.
The dam, situated in the Huntington District, poses an unknown risk due to its condition assessment not being rated. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for the dam are not currently available, highlighting the need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. With its location in a water-rich state like Virginia, the management and maintenance of Eutsler Dam are crucial in safeguarding water resources and mitigating potential climate-related risks in the region.
Despite the lack of comprehensive data on Eutsler Dam's current condition and risk assessment, its significance as a water management structure in Patrick, Virginia, cannot be understated. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor the dam's status and advocate for proactive measures to address any potential hazards or vulnerabilities. By staying informed and engaging with relevant agencies, stakeholders can work towards ensuring the long-term sustainability and resilience of Eutsler Dam and its surrounding water resources in the face of changing climatic conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
