Summary

Standing at a height of 23.5 feet with a storage capacity of 122.58 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. While its hazard potential is currently labeled as 'Undetermined' and its condition assessment is 'Not Rated', the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its safety and functionality.

Although the specific primary purpose of Br Golf Dam is not outlined in the data, its significance in managing water levels and storage capacity is evident. With a spillway width and number of locks undisclosed, the dam's structural integrity and hydraulic properties are key aspects in its operation. The dam's location within the Baltimore District and its association with the federal government underscore its importance in the overall water resource infrastructure of the area.

Despite lacking certain details such as the year of completion and specific dam types, Br Golf Dam remains a critical component of the water management system in Virginia. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the proper regulation and maintenance of structures like Br Golf Dam will be essential in ensuring the resilience and sustainability of the region's water supply.

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.
