Summary
Constructed in 1971 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection and creating a small fish pond. With a height of 20 feet and a length of 200 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 173 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Campbell Lake Dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam does not have a state regulatory agency overseeing its operations, but it is subject to regular state inspections. The last inspection took place in November 2004, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and has not been significantly modified since its completion.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Campbell Lake Dam to be an intriguing structure due to its unique design and dual-purpose functionality. The dam's location in a rural area and its modest size make it a lesser-known but still significant feature in Georgia's water infrastructure. With its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Campbell Lake Dam represents an interesting case study in dam safety and management 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.
