Built in 1990 by the DOD USA, this earth-type dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes with a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans a length of 300 feet, covering an area of 8 acres. It is regulated, inspected, and operated by the US Army, with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Despite being a federal-owned structure, Armory Creek has not been subject to state jurisdiction, regulation, permitting, or enforcement. With a controlled spillway and no outlet gates, the dam has a condition assessment that is currently not available. The last inspection was conducted in February 2018, with a recommended frequency of every 4 years. Overall, Armory Creek serves as a vital water resource for irrigation in the Chattahoochee region, highlighting the intricate relationship between water management and climate resilience in the area.
