About Seitz Dam
The primary purpose of Seitz Dam is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Foster County Wrb (local government). It impounds the James River-tr near N.
The dam stands 7 feet tall and stretches 31 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 540 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 11,700 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 33 square miles. Completed in 2002, the structure is relatively new.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 10/23/2003. That was over 22 years ago.
