Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam dam
Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam
Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam, located in Pierce, Georgia, stands as a vital recreational asset in the region, offering a serene oasis for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Built in 1973, this Earth dam boasts a height of 16 feet and a length of 720 feet, providing a storage capacity of 531 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam overlooks Baxter Branch and offers a surface area of 58 acres for visitors to enjoy various water activities.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition, highlighting the need for ongoing inspection and maintenance. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, underscoring the importance of regular monitoring to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. With a five-year inspection frequency and a last inspection date in December 2018, the dam remains a crucial component of the local ecosystem and community.
As a privately owned structure, Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam serves as a testament to the intersection of human development and natural resources. With its scenic location and recreational offerings, the dam provides a unique opportunity for individuals to connect with the surrounding environment and appreciate the importance of sustainable water management practices. By promoting awareness and stewardship of this critical water resource, enthusiasts can actively contribute to the preservation and conservation of Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam for future generations to enjoy.

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 Lakeview Country Club Lake Dam
Where does the data for Lakeview Country Club 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.
