Summary
Dam, located in Burke, Georgia, was completed in 1977 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service with a primary purpose of debris control. This earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a length of 930 feet, providing a storage capacity of 188 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and irrigation, making it a valuable asset for water resource management in the area.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Landis Plantation L. Dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and providing essential services to the surrounding community. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 150 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 2250 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment is not available, its strategic location along Tr- Buckhead Creek Meadow Bran highlights its importance in maintaining water quality and supporting local ecosystems.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Landis Plantation L. Dam represents a key infrastructure project that contributes to environmental conservation and sustainable water management practices in Georgia. Its multiple purposes and reliable design showcase the importance of integrating debris control, fire protection, and irrigation capabilities into dam structures. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like Landis Plantation L. Dam play a vital role in adapting to changing environmental conditions and safeguarding water supplies for future generations.

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.
