Summary
Built in 1960, this recreational dam stands at a height of 17.6 feet and has a hydraulic height of 15 feet. With a storage capacity of 111 acre-feet, it primarily serves recreational purposes in the area.
Situated on the North Branch river or stream, Pate Pond Dam boasts a surface area of 12.5 acres and a drainage area of 142 square miles. Although it has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, its hazard potential is classified as low, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. Despite not having a recent condition assessment, regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and the safety of surrounding communities.
Owned by a private entity, this dam has not been regulated by the state and has not undergone any significant modifications since its completion. While it may not be a high-risk structure, its importance for recreational use and potential environmental impacts make it a valuable resource for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and appreciate in the beautiful city of Arabi, 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.
