Summary

Built in 1921, this earth dam stands at a height of 30.3 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The dam, with a length of 480 feet, has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level.

Despite being privately owned, the dam is subject to state inspection and jurisdiction, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Lake Greystone Dam poses minimal risk to surrounding areas. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but the last inspection in April 2018 deemed it as not posing an immediate threat.

Lake Greystone Dam offers a picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts and serves as a popular spot for recreational activities. Its tranquil waters cover a surface area of 5.3 acres, providing a serene escape for visitors. With its historical significance and scenic beauty, this dam stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of water resources and community engagement in Georgia.

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.
