Summary
Standing at a height of 24 feet and stretching 480 feet in length, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres. While the dam's hazard potential is rated as low, its risk assessment falls under the moderate category, signaling the need for careful management and monitoring.
Designed by Mr. Childs, the Green Acres Lake Dam has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a drainage area of 125 square miles. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam has not received any official inspections or assessments, leaving its current condition as "Not Rated." While the dam does not pose an immediate threat, ongoing risk management measures should be implemented to ensure the safety and stability of this recreational structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy for years to come.
With its picturesque location and historical significance, Green Acres Lake Dam serves as a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking outdoor recreational activities. Its presence in Monroe County, Georgia, adds to the local landscape and provides a valuable resource for the surrounding community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of dams like Green Acres Lake Dam are crucial in preserving both the natural environment and the recreational opportunities they offer to enthusiasts in the region.

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.
