Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam dam
Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam
Located in Douglas, Georgia, the Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam stands as a vital structure along the Little Bear Creek, with a primary purpose not specified in the available data. This earthen dam, with a height of 40 feet and a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet, plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Despite being unlisted for specific purposes, the dam is under state jurisdiction and undergoes regular inspections, ensuring its structural integrity and safety.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment score of 3, the Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam poses minimal threat to the surrounding community. Although the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment, its risk management measures and emergency preparedness remain unspecified. As a part of the local government's infrastructure, the dam serves as a key component in the region's water resource management strategy, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring such critical structures in the face of changing climate patterns and water availability challenges.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the impacts of climate change on water infrastructure, the Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam represents a focal point for ongoing discussions and actions. With its location along the Little Bear Creek and its role in managing water storage and flow, the dam underscores the need for sustainable water resource management practices in the face of evolving environmental conditions. As efforts to address climate-related challenges intensify, the maintenance and oversight of structures like the Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam will remain essential for ensuring the resilience and adaptability of water systems in the region.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ddcwsa Reject Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
