Summary

Built in 1991 by HARZA ENGINEERING, this earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet with a structural height of 52 feet. With a storage capacity of 10,000 acre-feet, it primarily serves for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 400 acres for outdoor activities.

Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Rocky Mtn Dam F has a low hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating of 2. The dam has not undergone a condition assessment recently, but emergency action plans have been prepared to ensure public safety in case of any unforeseen events. While the dam does not have a spillway, it has a hydraulic height of 36 feet and a normal storage capacity of 5,260 acre-feet, making it an important water resource for the surrounding area.

Despite not being state-regulated, Rocky Mtn Dam F plays a crucial role in water management and recreation in Floyd County, Georgia. With its picturesque location and solid construction, this dam stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity and serves as a valuable asset for both the local community and visitors alike.

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.
