Dunwoody Country Club Lake Dam dam
Dunwoody Country Club Lake Dam
Located in Fulton, Georgia, the Dunwoody Country Club Lake Dam is a private earth dam with a primary purpose of recreation. Built in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 44.4 feet and has a hydraulic height of 27 feet. With a length of 135 feet and a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet, this dam serves as a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities.
The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While the condition assessment is listed as "not rated," the last inspection in July 2017 indicated that the dam meets state inspection requirements. With a surface area of 1.4 acres and a drainage area of 56 square miles, the Dunwoody Country Club Lake Dam continues to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for recreational purposes.
Overall, the Dunwoody Country Club Lake Dam offers a serene and picturesque setting for water enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty of nature while engaging in recreational activities. As a privately owned structure, this dam plays a crucial role in supporting the local community's leisure and enjoyment, while maintaining a moderate risk assessment level and meeting state inspection standards to ensure the safety of all visitors and residents in the area.
Dam data reference
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 Dunwoody Country Club Lake Dam
Where does the data for Dunwoody 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.
