Summary
Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 795 feet in length. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, offering a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Plantation Quail Lake #1 Dam is not currently regulated or inspected by state authorities. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlets, with a design classified as earth buttress. While the condition assessment is listed as 'Not Rated,' the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are not specified in the available data. Despite its simple design and low hazard potential, the dam provides valuable recreational opportunities for the local community.
Situated within the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Plantation Quail Lake #1 Dam serves as a picturesque spot for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities. Although lacking detailed information on its maintenance and emergency response plans, the dam's historical significance and recreational value make it an essential part of the local landscape in Laurens County, Georgia.

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.
