Summary
Constructed by WL Thompson Consulting Engineers/SCS, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at 27 feet high with a hydraulic height of 24 feet. It has a storage capacity of 19 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 1 acre, serving as a vital resource for water retention in the region.
Despite being unlisted on the Federal level, the dam is regulated by the state authorities with regular inspections ensuring its low hazard potential. The risk assessment for Lee Arrandale Swine Lagoon Lake Dam indicates a moderate risk level, prompting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance. While the condition assessment is not rated, the structure meets state jurisdiction requirements and plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.
Located in the Savannah District, the dam does not have controlled spillways or outlet gates, making its operation and maintenance simpler. With a focus on emergency preparedness and risk management measures, Lee Arrandale Swine Lagoon Lake Dam remains a key component in the region's water infrastructure, safeguarding against potential hazards and contributing to sustainable water resource practices.

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.
