Summary

The dam, primarily owned by a private entity, stands at a height of 15.4 feet and has a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 2115 square miles, the dam ensures the conservation of water resources in the region.

Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Casa Grande Lake Dam boasts a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway of the dam ensures the safe release of excess water. The dam's condition has not been rated, but regular inspections have been conducted to ensure its structural integrity and safety. In the event of an emergency, the dam is equipped with emergency action plans to mitigate any potential risks.

Overall, Casa Grande Lake Dam stands as a vital infrastructure that not only provides recreational opportunities but also plays a crucial role in water resource management in Crisp County, Georgia. With its strategic location and design, the dam continues to serve as a key component in the region's efforts to maintain a sustainable water supply and mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation.

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.
