Summary
Built in 1960, this earth dam spans 720 feet and reaches a height of 16 feet, providing a storage capacity of 272 acre-feet for Cedar Creek. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam offers a tranquil surface area of 25 acres for visitors to enjoy.
Despite being unregulated by the state, Rogers Lake Dam has consistently passed inspections and is deemed to have a low hazard potential. With uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and management. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam's structural integrity and function are crucial to ensuring the safety of the surrounding community and the preservation of this important water resource.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the ecological significance of Rogers Lake Dam, it becomes evident that its impact extends beyond its recreational value. With a drainage area of 600 square miles and a moderate risk assessment, the dam serves as a vital component of the local watershed. As a private entity, the owners of Rogers Lake Dam play a crucial role in maintaining its integrity and ensuring its continued contribution to the water resource management efforts in Evans County, Georgia.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
