Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet, with a hydraulic height of 18 feet and a length of 750 feet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 55 acre-feet, serving as a vital water source for the surrounding area.
While Camp Hill Reservoir is not state regulated, it is considered to have a significant hazard potential. Despite not being officially rated for its condition, the dam continues to provide essential water supply services to the community. With a maximum discharge of 60 cubic feet per second and a history of no reported modifications, the reservoir remains vital for water resource management in Tallapoosa County.
Although lacking in current inspection and assessment data, Camp Hill Reservoir plays a crucial role in ensuring water availability in the region. As an earth dam with no associated locks or spillways, it stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring water infrastructure for climate resilience and sustainable resource management.

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.
