Summary
Completed in 1957, the dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection and creating a small fish pond. With a height of 7.4 feet and a length of 675 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 639 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 639 cubic feet per second.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential, it is regularly inspected to ensure its structural integrity. The last inspection took place in January 2018, with a frequency of every 5 years. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. Redwood Lake Dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, making it essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans.
Located in Brooks County, Georgia, Redwood Lake Dam is a significant structure for both water storage and wildlife conservation. As a private dam under state jurisdiction, it plays a crucial role in maintaining water levels for fire protection and sustaining a diverse ecosystem. With its rich history and ongoing risk assessments, the dam serves as a key focal point for ensuring water resource sustainability in the region.

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.
