Summary
This private dam, primarily used for recreation, has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam has a moderate risk assessment score of 3, indicating the need for some risk management measures to be put in place.
Although the dam's purpose is mainly for recreational activities, its storage capacity is significant, with a NID storage of 87 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it is made of earth with a buttress core type. Notably, the dam's location by the Anderson Pond Lake adds to its appeal for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to explore the diverse landscapes of Georgia. While the dam is not under state regulation or inspection, its presence adds to the charm of the area and provides opportunities for outdoor activities.
For those interested in water resources and the impact of climate on dam structures, Anderson Pond Lake Dam 2 offers a fascinating case study. While it may not be under strict regulatory oversight, its historical significance and recreational value make it an intriguing site to visit. With its unique design features and moderate risk assessment, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure in a changing climate landscape.

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.
