Summary

Owned privately, this earth dam stands at a height of 20.2 feet with a maximum storage capacity of 93 acre-feet. The dam is classified as having low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment.

Despite being unregulated by the state, Peede Lake Dam North offers a serene 8.3-acre surface area for visitors to enjoy various water activities. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its recreational purpose, making it an ideal spot for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. With a drainage area of 423 acres, the dam provides a tranquil retreat within Schley County, Georgia.

While the dam's condition assessment is not rated and its emergency action plan status remains unprepared, Peede Lake Dam North continues to attract outdoor enthusiasts seeking a peaceful natural setting. The dam's presence, amidst the Savannah District, highlights the importance of sustaining water resources for both recreational and environmental purposes in the region.

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.
