This morning, the Alamance County Emergency Management Office and the AO Fire Department were alerted to water leaking from the base of the Ossipee Dam in Altamahaw. Since then, the NC Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental Quality Dam Safety Division, and the State Emergency Management Office have been in contact with representatives from the local County Emergency Management Office as well as Glen Raven Mills, owner of the dam. At this time, the dam is categorized as a regulated jurisdictional low hazard dam indicating that if failure occurs, there should be minimal negative impact to property.
Glen Raven Mills along with the AO Fire Department and the Alamance County Emergency Management Office will be working together to regularly monitor the situation and will report any change in status to the Department of Environmental Quality Dam Safety Division.
Due to these conditions, the Altamahaw Paddle Access, Shallow Ford Natural Area Paddle Access, Great Bend Park Paddle Access, and the Glencoe Paddle Access will be closed until further notice.
According to the newest ISO (Insurance Services Office) Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule, Alamance County’s ratings improved from a residential score of six to four and a commercial score of five to three. This evaluation is conducted every ten years, and one through ten scores are determined by evaluation of administration of codes, plan review, and field inspections – all of which contribute to safer buildings during natural disasters. A lower ISO Building Code Effectiveness Classification could possibly reduce insurance premiums for newer structures built this year or after by insurance companies that have adopted the ISO insurance rating program.
According to Alamance County Inspections Director Robert Key, “This improved score was due to a team effort by employees who were dedicated to a successful process of residential plan review, continuing education, and follow-up inspections.”

BURLINGTON – Starting Saturday, May 25, there will be something new to do at Cedarock Park. Alamance Parks is introducing a new FootGolf course to the park. The Cedarock FootGolf course starts at the Park Office and offers 18 holes of play on an open course. The game utilizes a soccer ball that is kicked into a series of holes. Like golf, the object of the game is to complete the course using the fewest possible shots. Visitors can bring their own soccer ball to use or rent a ball from the park office.
The new FootGolf course complements the existing two Disc Golf courses as well as six miles of both hiking and equestrian trails, a historical farm, fishing ponds, playground and ample field space for open play.
Cedarock Park is open from 8am-9pm. For more information about Cedarock Park and the new FootGolf course visit www.alamanceparks.com or call 336-229-2410.
