Standing at a height of 25 feet with a length of 350 feet, this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 144 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 10 acres. The dam is situated on the TR-JAMES RIVER, within the Norfolk District of Virginia, and is overseen by the state regulatory agency for permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite its low hazard potential, Carneal Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment as of the last inspection in January 1999. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for the dam was last revised in January 2007, with no recent updates on its compliance with guidelines or the preparation of inundation maps. With a risk assessment and management measures currently unspecified, there is a need for further evaluation and maintenance of this structure to ensure its safety and functionality in the face of potential water resource and climate challenges.
