Summary
Completed in 1987, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and spans a length of 1200 feet, holding a maximum storage capacity of 418 acre-feet. Situated on Todd Creek, the dam serves to ensure a stable water supply for the surrounding community in Forsyth.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the Public Safety Training Center Dam is essential for maintaining water security in the region. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its structural integrity. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway and outlet gates function effectively to manage water flow and potential risks, highlighting the importance of proper monitoring and maintenance for this critical infrastructure.
As a state-owned structure, the Public Safety Training Center Dam plays a vital role in water management and public safety in Georgia. With its strategic location and reliable performance, this dam stands as a testament to the state's commitment to safeguarding its water resources and ensuring the well-being of its residents.

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.
