Summary
The dam, designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, is an earth dam with a buttress core type, spanning a length of 1180 feet and creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. Situated on Crooked Creek, the dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it an important structure for water resource management in the area.
With a drainage area of 1070 acres and a storage capacity of 227 acre-feet, Land Lake Dam provides valuable recreational opportunities while also serving as a crucial water management infrastructure. Despite not being state regulated, the dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in November 2004. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its low hazard potential, ensuring the safety of surrounding communities and enhancing the resilience of the local ecosystem in the face of changing climate patterns. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Land Lake Dam represents a harmonious blend of recreational enjoyment and responsible water management practices in Georgia's 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.
