Summary
Standing at a height of 19 feet, this earth dam provides a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 26 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia, ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement standards.
Situated on the TR-CHERRYSTONE CREEK, Kendall Dam offers a serene environment for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. While the dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, it remains a popular spot for outdoor recreation in the region. With a latitude of 36.7935 and longitude of -79.3953, Kendall Dam is a picturesque location for visitors to explore and appreciate the beauty of nature.
Managed by a private owner, Kendall Dam provides an opportunity for individuals to engage in water-based activities while also serving as a vital water resource in the area. As climate change continues to impact water sources, the importance of maintaining and regulating dams like Kendall Dam becomes increasingly crucial to ensure the sustainability of water ecosystems and recreational opportunities for future generations.

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.
