Allos Lake Dam dam
Allos Lake Dam
Allos Lake Dam, also known as Bodrey Lake Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Leesburg, Georgia. Completed in 1978, this Earth-type dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection and as a small fish pond, with a primary height of 11.8 feet and a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. The dam stands at a structural height of 10 feet and has a spillway type classified as uncontrolled, making it a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating.
The dam is situated on the Starr Branch river and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia, with regular inspections conducted to ensure its integrity and safety. The last inspection was carried out in June 2016, with a designated inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam are yet to be fully developed. Despite these factors, Allos Lake Dam remains a vital resource for the local community, providing essential services such as stock pond maintenance and fire protection in the region.
With its strategic location and importance in water resource management, Allos Lake Dam serves as a key asset in Lee County, Georgia. While not federally regulated, the dam plays a crucial role in maintaining water levels and providing recreational opportunities for residents. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, understanding the significance and risk factors associated with structures like Allos Lake Dam is essential in safeguarding our environment and ensuring sustainable use of water resources for future generations.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Allos Lake Dam
Where does the data for Allos Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
