Summary
Built in 1967, this Earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and spans a length of 900 feet, serving its primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife. With a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in fire protection, irrigation, and recreation in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Aubrey Harper poses a moderate risk due to its outdated risk assessment and lack of emergency action planning. With a drainage area of 0.21 square miles and a maximum discharge of 310 cfs, this dam is essential for managing water resources in the region. Although its condition assessment is currently not available, the dam continues to provide valuable support to local ecosystems and recreational activities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the condition of Aubrey Harper, it is essential to prioritize risk management measures and emergency preparedness. With its location along the Willacoochee River and its critical role in supporting fish and wildlife, this Earth dam remains an important asset in the conservation and management of water resources in Irwin County, Georgia.

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.
