Summary
The dam provides a storage capacity of 198 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 198 acre-feet and a normal storage of 117 acre-feet. The dam holds a surface area of 26 acres and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway type.
Despite being privately owned, Beasley Lake Dam falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the state of Georgia and undergoes regular inspections. The dam has been assessed to have a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level. While the condition of the dam has not been rated, it meets the necessary guidelines for emergency action plans. The dam has not been modified in recent years, with the last inspection conducted in July 2015.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Beasley Lake Dam to be an intriguing structure in Turner County, Georgia. With its unique design features and storage capacity, the dam plays a vital role in water management in the area. As a privately owned dam under state jurisdiction, it demonstrates the importance of regulatory oversight in ensuring the safety and functionality of such structures.

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.
