Summary

Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 32.4 feet and has a primary purpose of water supply, with a storage capacity of 301 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 291 feet and is situated on Bush Creek in Haralson County, Georgia.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation. The last inspection was conducted in October 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The risk assessment for Bremen Reservoir Dam is moderate, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.

With a captivating history dating back over six decades, Bremen Reservoir Dam stands as a testament to the essential role of water resource management in supporting communities. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Bremen Reservoir Dam becomes increasingly crucial in safeguarding water security for future generations.

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.
