Summary
Standing at a height of 30 feet and with a length of 485 feet, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 111 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with an outlet gate also classified as uncontrolled.
Managed by the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Everidge Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed in terms of its condition. Despite being situated in a state-jurisdictional area, the dam is not regulated by the state and does not require a permit for operation. The last inspection took place in March 2017, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified.
In the picturesque city of Pinehurst, Everidge Lake Dam stands as a vital water resource structure for the local community, providing essential irrigation support. While the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment suggest a functional and reliable structure for water management in the region. As climate enthusiasts continue to monitor water resources and infrastructure, Everidge Lake Dam serves as a key feature in sustaining agricultural activities and water supply in Dooly County, Georgia.

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.
