Summary
Constructed in 1945 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans a length of 800 feet. With a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet, Cecil Davis plays a crucial role in fire protection, stock, recreation, as well as supporting fish and wildlife in the area.
Situated on the Tr-Ohoopee river, Cecil Davis has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 60 feet and a maximum discharge of 350 cubic feet per second. Despite the lack of available condition assessment data, the dam is deemed to be in satisfactory condition. With a drainage area of 0.56 square miles, Cecil Davis continues to contribute to the overall water resource management and conservation efforts in Johnson County, Georgia.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Cecil Davis serves as a noteworthy example of a privately owned structure that supports ecological diversity and recreational activities in the region. With its historical significance dating back to 1945, this earth dam remains a vital component in the local ecosystem, providing essential benefits to the surrounding community. As efforts continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition and risk management measures, Cecil Davis stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
