Summary

Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches 640 feet long, creating a serene lake with a storage capacity of 198 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, offering a surface area of 19 acres for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.

Situated along Parkers Mill Creek and under the jurisdiction of the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Cairo Country Club Lake Dam boasts a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam's condition is currently unrated, signaling the need for further inspection and assessment. With uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam ensures water flow control while maintaining a safe environment for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a peaceful retreat in Grady, Georgia, the Cairo Country Club Lake Dam offers a picturesque setting for outdoor recreation and relaxation.

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. 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

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, 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.
