2 Lake Dam, located in Macon, Georgia, was completed in 1979 and serves multiple purposes, including tailings containment. This earth dam stands at a height of 14.3 feet, with a hydraulic height of 18.4 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 327 acre-feet. While the dam has a low hazard potential, it is considered to have a high risk due to its condition not being rated, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
Owned by a private entity, this dam falls under state jurisdiction and has undergone inspections, with the last one conducted in May 2018. Despite not being regulated by the state, it is subject to state enforcement and inspection. The dam lacks a spillway, and its risk management measures and emergency action plans are not specified, suggesting a need for enhanced preparedness and monitoring in case of emergencies. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam presents an intriguing case study in the management of private dams and the importance of risk assessment and monitoring in ensuring public safety and environmental protection.
