Summary
The dam stands at 15 feet tall and spans 1150 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 101 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area of 11 acres and drains a small watershed of 0.1 square miles, with a maximum discharge rate of 440 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential, Odom No.2 has a moderate risk rating due to its age and lack of recent inspections. The dam is currently in "Not Rated" condition, with no documented maintenance or emergency action plan in place. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 58 feet wide, serves as the primary means of managing excess water flow. The surrounding area is designated as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, providing habitat for local flora and fauna.
In the absence of state regulatory oversight, the responsibility for the upkeep and safety of Odom No.2 falls on its private owner. With its historical significance as a conservation project and its importance in supporting local wildlife, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are crucial to ensure the dam's continued reliability and functionality for the community and the environment.

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.
