Summary

The dam, designed by Michael Bentley, stands at a height of 34 feet and has a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet. Although the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, it is inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity.

Located within the Savannah District and under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia, Lake At Stoneridge Dam is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. With a surface area of 5 acres and a normal storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, the dam offers a picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities.

While the dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have a designated emergency action plan, it is important to note that the risk management measures for Lake At Stoneridge Dam are currently unspecified. As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and maintaining the safety of dams like this one are crucial in ensuring the well-being of surrounding communities and the preservation of natural habitats.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
