Summary
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment. The dam has a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 48 acre-feet, making it a crucial water resource for the area.
Despite being uncontrolled, Dicker Lake Dam has regular state inspections to ensure its safety and integrity. The last inspection took place in July 2016, with a frequency of every 5 years. The dam's emergency action plan status is currently unknown, but it is categorized as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, highlighting the importance of proper management and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks associated with the structure.
With its strategic location in the Savannah District, Dicker Lake Dam plays a vital role in water resource management and flood control in the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this dam an intriguing subject for study and observation, given its unique characteristics and the critical role it plays in the local ecosystem.

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.
