Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 15.8 feet and has a length of 910 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 274 acre-feet and a surface area of 27 acres, providing ample space for various water activities.
Despite being a privately owned structure, the Kolomoki Plantation Lake Dam is inspected regularly to ensure its safety. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, indicating a level of caution but not immediate concern. While the condition assessment is not currently rated, the dam's last inspection in July 2016 reported its condition as satisfactory.
With uncontrolled spillways and outlets, the Kolomoki Plantation Lake Dam offers a serene environment for water enthusiasts to enjoy. Situated in a picturesque location in Bluffton, Georgia, this dam provides a peaceful escape for those seeking to connect with nature and indulge in water-based activities.

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.
