Summary
Managed by the Georgia SAFE DAMS PROGRAM, this earth dam holds a storage capacity of 3,365 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of water supply. Pound Creek is the river or stream that the dam controls, with a drainage area of 3,889 acres and a surface area of 140 acres.
The dam has a fair condition assessment as of March 2016, with a high hazard potential due to its location. Despite this, the risk assessment is moderate, indicating a manageable level of risk. The dam's emergency action plan status and inundation maps preparedness are not specified, but it is inspected every two years to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations. Cane Creek WS Str #2 is a significant infrastructure for water resource management in the region and plays a vital role in securing reliable water supply for the community of Woodbury.
Overall, Cane Creek WS Str #2 is a well-maintained and essential water resource infrastructure in Georgia, contributing to the state's water supply needs. With its high hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, continued monitoring and maintenance are crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of this earth dam. The collaboration between state agencies, such as the Georgia SAFE DAMS PROGRAM, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in designing and overseeing the dam's operations highlights the importance of effective regulation and management in safeguarding water resources and mitigating potential risks associated with dam infrastructure.

Dam Data Reference
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.
