Summary

Standing at a height of 16.3 feet and with a hydraulic height of 16.8 feet, the dam has a normal storage capacity of 186.9 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 269 acre-feet. The dam, completed in an unknown year, spans 495 feet in length and covers a surface area of 26.7 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is classified as not rated in terms of condition assessment.

Situated in Troup County, Georgia, this dam does not fall under state regulation but undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in October 2019. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated structures or locks. Although the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unspecified, its risk assessment level is moderate. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bryant Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in private dam ownership and recreational usage within the Georgia landscape.

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.
