Summary

Built in 1968 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this earth dam stands at a height of 32.5 feet and has a hydraulic height of 25.8 feet. With a storage capacity of 545 acre-feet and a drainage area of 958 acres, the dam serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

Despite its critical role in flood control, Euharlee Creek WS Str # 4 is currently assessed to be in poor condition with a high hazard potential. The last inspection conducted in March 2016 revealed the need for maintenance and improvements to ensure the dam's structural integrity and operational effectiveness. With a risk assessment rating of moderate, it is essential for the responsible agencies to prioritize necessary risk management measures and regularly monitor the dam to prevent any potential hazards.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to stay informed about the state of infrastructure like Euharlee Creek WS Str # 4 to advocate for proactive measures that safeguard communities and the environment. By addressing the dam's current condition and implementing timely maintenance and upgrades, we can enhance its resilience and ensure its continued ability to mitigate flood risks effectively.

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.
