Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond dam
Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond
The Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond, also known as Aggregates Lake Dam, is a private water supply structure located in the North Camak Community in Warren, Georgia. Built in 1968, this Earth dam stands at a height of 13.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is to provide water supply for the area, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Situated near Taylor's Creek and Golden Creek, this dam plays a crucial role in water management in the region. With a surface area of 12 acres and a spillway type classified as uncontrolled, the Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond is an essential component of the local water infrastructure. While it is not currently regulated or inspected by the state, its presence and function are vital for maintaining water supply in the community.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance and characteristics of structures like the Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond is key to appreciating the complexities of water management systems. With its design by Martin Marietta and its association with water supply, this dam serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of water resources and the critical role they play in sustaining our environment and communities.

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 Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond
Where does the data for Martin Marietta Quarry Waste Pond 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.
