Summary
Owned by the local government and regulated by the Georgia-SAFE DAMS PROGRAM, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and was completed in 1964 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 2070 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 1895 acres, this dam plays a vital role in managing water flow in the region.
The dam's hazard potential is rated as high, but its condition assessment as of February 2017 was deemed satisfactory. Despite its age, Bull Creek WS Str # 26 continues to serve its intended function effectively. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a surface area of 22 acres. With a moderate risk rating and regular inspection schedule, the dam is well-maintained and monitored to ensure public safety and flood protection for the surrounding area.
As a significant structure in the region, Bull Creek WS Str # 26 highlights the importance of proper water resource management and infrastructure for climate resilience. With its history of flood risk reduction and ongoing regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a vital component in safeguarding the community against potential water-related disasters. The collaborative efforts of the local government, design agencies, and regulatory bodies ensure that this essential water resource structure continues to fulfill its critical role in maintaining water security and climate adaptation in Muscogee 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.
