Summary

Built in 1977 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and irrigation. With a height of 22 feet and a length of 725 feet, Peacock Dam 2 has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 240 cubic feet per second.

Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Peacock Dam 2 presents a moderate risk level due to its condition assessment being currently unavailable. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet and is situated on Tr- Reedy Creek, serving as a crucial water resource for the surrounding area. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not readily available, its role in water supply and environmental conservation makes it an essential asset for the community.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts in Bleckley, Georgia, can appreciate the significance of Peacock Dam 2 in providing water storage for various purposes. As a privately owned structure, the dam's maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure its continued functionality and safety. With a history dating back to the late 1970s, Peacock Dam 2 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in mitigating risks and supporting local ecosystems.

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.
