Summary
The dam, with a height of 13.5 feet and a length of 645 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 116.8 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 12.3 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment.
Designed by Billy Sauls and situated within the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia, Hooks Pond Dam has not been modified since its completion. The last inspection conducted in October 2009 deemed the dam to be in satisfactory condition, although it has not been officially rated. Although the dam is not regulated by the state, regular inspections are carried out to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
With its scenic location and recreational purpose, Hooks Pond Dam offers a tranquil setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. While it may not be a high-risk structure, the dam provides an important water source for the local area and contributes to the overall ecosystem of the region. As a privately owned dam, it serves as a reminder of the diverse range of water management systems that exist across the state of Georgia.

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.
