Standing at a height of 20.9 feet with a hydraulic height of 19 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 1700 acre-feet, offering a surface area of 85 acres for leisure activities. Despite its age, the dam is in poor condition and poses a high hazard potential, making it a subject of ongoing inspection and regulatory oversight by the GA-SAFE DAMS PROGRAM.
The dam's design, featuring an earth core and stone foundations, includes uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. The inspection frequency for Indian Lake Dam is every two years, with the last assessment conducted in January 2016. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans are not currently documented, highlighting the importance of proactive maintenance and safety protocols for this recreational water resource in Colquitt, Georgia. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find Indian Lake Dam's dynamic interplay of nature conservation and public safety regulations a compelling case study in sustainable dam management practices.
