Summary
Lake Dam, located in Crawford, Georgia, is a private earth dam primarily built for recreational purposes. Standing at a height of 15.6 feet with a hydraulic height of 14 feet, this dam overlooks the Beaver Creek and offers a surface area of 10.2 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy. With a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 51 acre-feet, this dam provides a serene setting for outdoor activities.
Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam boasts a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The last inspection in August 2015 deemed the structure in good condition, with a 5-year inspection frequency in place. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, contributing to its recreational appeal while maintaining safety standards. With its picturesque location and efficient design, the Atlanta Sand & Supply Co. Lake Dam serves as a peaceful retreat for visitors seeking to connect with nature and enjoy water-related activities in a controlled environment.
In the care of a private owner, this dam stands as a testament to responsible stewardship of water resources in Georgia. While not under the jurisdiction of state agencies for permitting or enforcement, the Atlanta Sand & Supply Co. Lake Dam exemplifies how private entities can contribute to water conservation efforts through sustainable recreational developments. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of structures like this dam play a crucial role in preserving natural habitats and ensuring a balanced ecosystem for future generations of water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.

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.
