Summary
The dam's primary purpose is to create a Fish and Wildlife Pond, providing a habitat for various species and offering recreational opportunities for visitors. With a height of 27 feet and a length of 255 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.1 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk rating (3) due to its lack of available condition assessment data. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 30 feet, and the maximum discharge capacity is 100 cubic feet per second. The dam is situated on Pearson Creek and serves as a vital resource for water management and conservation efforts in the area. While there is no information on the dam's inspection frequency or emergency action plan status, efforts to ensure the safety and integrity of Grady Leverette Dam are ongoing.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Grady Leverette Dam presents an intriguing case study in private dam ownership and management. Its role in supporting wildlife habitats, recreational activities, and water storage highlights the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in mitigating environmental impacts and promoting ecosystem resilience. Continued monitoring and maintenance of the dam will be essential to ensure its long-term effectiveness in supporting the local ecosystem and community.

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.
