Summary

The dam, designed by SCS, stands at a height of 26.2 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23 feet. With a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 55.2 acre-feet, the dam's primary purpose is for recreational activities in the Corinth Church Community.

While the dam's hazard potential is considered low and its condition assessment is currently not rated, it is worth noting that the last inspection took place in February 2011 with a frequency of every 5 years. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the outlet gates are also uncontrolled. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with no specific risk management measures listed. Despite its moderate risk level, Camp Coleman Lake Dam continues to be a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy the water resources and climate of the area.

Overall, Camp Coleman Lake Dam provides a serene setting for recreational activities in the beautiful surroundings of White, Georgia. With a focus on providing a safe and enjoyable environment for visitors, the dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management in relation to climate considerations. As a privately owned structure, the dam's impact on the community is significant, offering a space for outdoor recreation while also maintaining a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment.

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.
