Redwine Lake Dam dam
Redwine Lake Dam
Redwine Lake Dam, located in Fayetteville, Georgia, was completed in 1944 and stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity. This private-owned structure was designed by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and primarily serves as a recreational area, offering visitors a serene escape surrounded by nature. With a dam height of 17 feet and a storage capacity of 148.7 acre-feet, the dam provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Redwine Lake Dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety standards are maintained. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, adding to its functionality while also enhancing the overall experience for visitors. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam remains a reliable and resilient asset within the community, showcasing a commitment to effective risk management practices.
Surrounded by the picturesque landscape of Fayette County, Redwine Lake Dam stands as a symbol of harmonious coexistence between human infrastructure and the natural environment. Its Earth core type and buttress design reflect a blend of practicality and aesthetics, creating a tranquil oasis for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike. As a focal point for outdoor recreation and leisure, this dam continues to play a vital role in the local community's social and ecological fabric, embodying the timeless allure of water management in a changing climate.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Redwine Lake Dam
Where does the data for Redwine Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
