The dam, with a height of 59 feet and a storage capacity of 839 acre-feet, serves a primary purpose that is undisclosed in the data. The dam type is classified as a buttress dam with uncontrolled spillways and outlets, presenting a high hazard potential, yet the condition assessment is listed as satisfactory as of the last inspection in February 2021.
Despite the moderate risk rating, the reservoir has not undergone any recent modifications or emergency action plan updates, raising concerns among water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam is situated within the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, but it is not owned or directly funded by any federal agency. With a lack of detailed information on associated structures and purposes, further investigation is needed to assess the overall safety and sustainability of Scott Candler Reservoir #2 in the face of potential climate impacts and water resource management challenges.
