This dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 243 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 107 acre-feet. The dam has a height of 40.9 feet and is regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Virginia.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in fair condition, it undergoes regular inspections with an inspection frequency of 1 year. The most recent inspection in April 2021 confirmed its fair condition. The emergency action plan (EAP) for the dam was last revised in November 2007, and it is unclear whether it meets current guidelines. While the dam does not have inundation maps prepared or a risk assessment in place, it is important for stakeholders and officials to ensure that proper risk management measures are implemented to protect the surrounding area and the Rappahannock River ecosystem.
Overall, Celebrate Virginia Pond #12 plays a crucial role in supporting irrigation activities in the region while also posing minimal risk to downstream communities. Maintaining the dam's integrity through regular inspections, updating the emergency action plan, and implementing necessary risk management measures are essential to safeguarding the surrounding environment and water resources in Virginia.
