Summary
The dam, primarily made of earth, stands at a height of 11.75 feet and has a storage capacity of 99.3 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 57.41 acre-feet and a surface area of 16.45 acres, the dam contributes significantly to the local ecosystem by providing habitat for various wildlife species.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of March 2018, Mcclintic Pond #7a Dam has a high hazard potential, prompting biennial inspections to ensure public safety. The dam, regulated by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, plays a crucial role in flood control and recreation activities in the area. With an emergency action plan in place and a designated risk assessment process, the dam operators are prepared to handle any potential risks and emergencies effectively.
With its strategic location and essential role in the local environment, Mcclintic Pond #7a Dam stands as a significant water resource structure in West Virginia. As a hub for fish and wildlife conservation, as well as recreational activities, the dam exemplifies the importance of sustainable water management practices in mitigating climate impacts and preserving natural habitats.

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.
