Adcock Dam, located in the Bostwick Community of Walton County, Georgia, was completed in 1968 with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock, or a small fish pond. This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and spans a length of 660 feet, with a storage capacity of 187 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres. Despite being unlisted for drainage area, the dam is designed with a buttress core type and an uncontrolled spillway, making it a low hazard potential structure.
With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Adcock Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment as of the last inspection in August 2009. The dam is not regulated by the state but is subject to annual inspections, with the next one due in 5 years. Although the dam is not equipped with an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps, its risk management measures are currently unspecified. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Adcock Dam's unique history and design attributes intriguing, as it serves as a vital resource for fire protection and recreational activities in the area.
