This earth dam, standing at a height of 23.5 feet and a length of 534 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 239 acre-feet of water. The dam is regulated by the Georgia Safe Dams Program and undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment in April 2019 indicating a poor condition and high hazard potential.
Despite its recreational benefits, Erin's Place Lake Dam poses a moderate risk due to its outdated infrastructure and poor condition assessment. With a drainage area of 1.16 square miles, the dam serves as an important reservoir in Columbia County, Georgia. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it lacks outlet gates, raising concerns about its ability to manage water flow during heavy rainfall or flooding events. While the risk management measures and emergency action plan for the dam are not clearly defined in the data, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the sustainability of the water resource in the area.
