Summary
Built in 1948 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and spans a length of 425 feet. With a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet, Anderson serves as a recreational area for the local community while also providing habitat for various species of fish and wildlife. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently assessed as being in moderate condition.
Situated on Bonner Creek in the Mobile District, Anderson has a spillway width of 30 feet and a maximum discharge of 110 cubic feet per second. Although the dam does not have a controlled spillway, it is designed to manage water flow effectively. With its proximity to Congressional District 08 in Georgia, Anderson contributes to the conservation efforts in the region and supports the overall water resource management initiatives. While the dam's emergency action plan status is not available at the moment, its risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, prompting the need for ongoing monitoring and management measures to ensure its integrity and safety for the surrounding community and environment.

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.
