Summary
This private Earth dam, with a height of 17.2 feet and a hydraulic height of 16.8 feet, provides a storage capacity of 156 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 97.5 acre-feet. The dam, designed by SCS, spans 300 feet in length and has a surface area of 15 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Crook Pond Dam has not been formally rated for its condition. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlets, and is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in May 2018. The dam is not regulated by the state of Georgia, but does fall under state jurisdiction for inspection purposes. The risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam remain unspecified.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Crook Pond Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management. Its unique design and recreational purpose highlight the intersection of human intervention with natural water systems. As the dam continues to age, ongoing monitoring and assessment will be crucial to ensure the safety and sustainability of this important water resource feature in Macon County, 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.
