Summary

Built in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a length of 1500 feet. Its primary purpose is for recreation, with a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet and a surface area of 18 acres.

Although not state-regulated, the dam is regularly inspected by the owner, with the last inspection conducted in August 2000. It has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with no associated locks. Despite being listed as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the structure continues to serve its intended purpose for recreational activities in the area.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Kicklighter Pond Dam intriguing for its historical significance and role in providing recreational opportunities in the region. With its unique design as an earth dam with buttress core type, the dam stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity and serves as a vital component of the local landscape. As efforts continue to maintain and monitor the dam's safety, it remains a noteworthy structure for those interested in the intersection of water management and environmental conservation in Georgia.

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.
