Summary

Designed by Jimmy Vaughn & A. S. Boone Jr., this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and stretches over 800 feet in length. The dam boasts a storage capacity of 605 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 310 acre-feet across its 62-acre surface area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Stuckey Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, making it a key spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore. While it falls under state jurisdiction and undergoes periodic inspections, the dam's risk assessment is marked as moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management measures to ensure its safety and longevity.

Stuckey Lake Dam offers a tranquil oasis for recreation seekers, with its serene waters and lush surroundings beckoning visitors to unwind and connect with nature. As a privately owned structure, the dam provides a valuable opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to appreciate the intersection of water resources and climate conditions in a beautiful Georgia setting. Whether for leisurely activities or educational purposes, Stuckey Lake Dam stands as a testament to responsible dam management and the importance of preserving our natural landscapes for future generations.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
