This earth dam, with a height of 23 feet and a hydraulic height of 21 feet, provides a storage capacity of 458 acre-feet for the surrounding area. Despite its recreational significance, the dam poses a high hazard potential and is currently in poor condition, as assessed in March 2017.
Located in the city of Rome, Stonebridge Lake Dam is regulated by the Georgia Safe Dams Program and undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam's risk assessment is rated as moderate. While the dam's associated structures are currently listed as none, its proximity to unknown river or stream presents challenges for managing its drainage area and potential discharge.
As a crucial feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Stonebridge Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring dam infrastructure for both recreational and safety purposes. Its condition assessment and risk management measures are essential factors in ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment and community.
