Summary

John Hunt. The dam is primarily used for recreation purposes and stands at a height of 20.8 feet, with a hydraulic height of 22.1 feet. It has a capacity of 64 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 53 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.8 acres. The dam is classified as a rockfill type, with an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates.

Despite being privately owned, Doe Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. It is situated in an area with moderate risk, as indicated by a risk assessment score of 3. While the dam has not been inspected recently and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures, its overall risk management measures remain unspecified. The dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Enthusiasts of water resources and climate monitoring may find Doe Lake Dam intriguing for its recreational purpose and structural design. The dam's location in MARIETTA, Georgia, underlines its importance in the local landscape. With its unique features and low hazard potential, Doe Lake Dam serves as a notable example of private dam infrastructure in the region, warranting further attention and monitoring in the realm of water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
