Summary
This earth dam, standing at a height of 24.1 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 91.6 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7.4 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition remains unrated, with its last inspection dating back to March 1985.
Owned privately and not regulated by the state, West Stewart Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. The dam, designed by Mr. Burdett and Bob Stewart, showcases a unique buttress core type and stands along an unknown river or stream. Situated in the Mobile District, the dam provides a picturesque setting for recreation, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities. Although its risk level is moderate, the dam's overall risk management measures and emergency preparedness remain unspecified.
In the realm of water resource and climate enthusiasts, West Stewart Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately-owned recreational structure in Georgia. With its historical significance dating back to the 1960s and its unique design features, the dam offers a glimpse into the intersection of man-made infrastructure and natural landscapes. While its risk level may warrant attention, the dam continues to stand as a testament to human ingenuity and the importance of responsible dam management in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
