Gaskin Lake Dam Reservoir Report
Nearby: Gaskins Lake Dam Lindsey Lake Dam
Last Updated: March 4, 2026
Gaskin Lake Dam in Berrien, Georgia, is a privately owned earth dam designed by the SCS with a primary purpose of irrigation.
Summary
The dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 87 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has an uncontrolled outlet gate.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment is currently not rated. The last inspection was conducted in May 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The risk assessment for Gaskin Lake Dam is moderate, indicating a potential for some level of risk that may need to be managed in the future. Overall, the dam serves as a crucial water resource for irrigation purposes in the area and is a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study.

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.
