Summary

Completed in 1965, this Earth-type dam boasts a height of 39.1 feet and a length of 459 feet, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 794 acre-feet and a surface area of 69 acres. Situated on Swinney Branch in the Haralson County, this privately-owned dam serves as a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.

Despite its low hazard potential, Eubank Lake Dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The last inspection in October 2016 deemed its condition as "Not Rated," indicating the need for further assessment. While the dam has faced moderate risk in the past, measures have been put in place to manage potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding community. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Eubank Lake Dam continues to play a vital role in providing recreational opportunities while maintaining a commitment to safety and risk management.

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.
