Dover Dam, also known as Lower Tuggle Road Dam, is a local government-owned structure located in Flowery Branch, Georgia. Completed in 1973, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Dover Dam has a low hazard potential and is considered to have a moderate risk level.

The dam boasts a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 32 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Dover Dam has not been inspected since May 1997, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While its condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," the dam is deemed to meet regulatory guidelines and poses a moderate risk due to its age and lack of recent inspections.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Dover Dam presents an interesting case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its unique design and purpose, this structure serves as a vital recreational resource in Gwinnett County, Georgia. As efforts to ensure the safety and longevity of dams across the country continue, Dover Dam stands as a reminder of the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures in maintaining infrastructure integrity and public safety.
