Summary

Built in 1968 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 870 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet, Weston Brooker serves the primary purpose of providing habitat for fish and wildlife, as well as irrigation for agricultural needs.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Weston Brooker has not undergone recent inspections or condition assessments. The dam's spillway, with a width of 120 feet, is uncontrolled, posing a potential risk in case of heavy precipitation or flooding events. While the dam meets the guidelines for emergency action plans, there is a lack of updated information on preparedness measures and contact information in case of an emergency.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Weston Brooker an intriguing site due to its historical significance and ecological importance. As a key structure for managing water resources in the region, the dam provides valuable insights into the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems. With its remote location in Jones County, Georgia, Weston Brooker represents a unique case study for understanding the challenges and opportunities associated with small-scale water management projects in a changing climate.

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.
