East Juliette Project Dam Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

The East Juliette Project Dam, located in Jones, Georgia, along the Ocmulgee River, was completed in 1921 and serves as a gravity dam with a height of 20 feet.

Summary

This private-owned dam has a maximum storage capacity of 418 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 78 acres. The dam's primary purpose and associated structures are not specified, but its hazard potential is labeled as undetermined with a moderate risk assessment rating.

Despite being managed by a private entity, the East Juliette Project Dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in November 2017. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and its emergency action plan status, as well as risk management measures, are also unspecified. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam's risk potential and management guidelines remain critical factors for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor closely. Furthermore, the dam's location within Congressional District 08 of Georgia adds to its significance in terms of environmental impact and regulatory oversight.

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.
