Kamin Impound #2 dam
Kamin Impound #2
Kamin Impound #2, also known as Huber Old Impound Dam, is a private earth dam located in Twiggs, Georgia, with a height of 16.4 feet and a storage capacity of 812.5 acre-feet. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam primarily serves low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite being uncontrolled, with uncontrolled outlet gates and spillway, the dam has a moderate risk level of 3 based on the available data.
This impoundment, nestled within the picturesque Georgia landscape, presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Even though it lacks regulatory oversight by the state, its presence signifies human interaction with the natural environment to harness and manage water resources. With a normal storage capacity of 225 acre-feet and a surface area of 90 acres, Kamin Impound #2 could hold significant implications for local water supply and flood control in the region.
As a privately owned structure, Kamin Impound #2 stands as a testament to the intricate balance between human development and environmental stewardship. Its uncontrolled nature and moderate risk level underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of water infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions. For those passionate about water resource management and climate resilience, delving into the details of Kamin Impound #2 offers a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of balancing human needs with the preservation of natural 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Kamin Impound #2
Where does the data for Kamin Impound #2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
