Summary
Standing at a height of 22.7 feet with a hydraulic height of 19.4 feet, the earth dam offers a serene surface area of 7 acres for visitors to enjoy. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Owned privately and situated in Coweta County, Price Lake Dam is not regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections to ensure its operational safety. The dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 114 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 39 acre-feet. The uncontrolled spillway type and outlet gates suggest a simplistic design, catering to the recreational needs of the area without extensive regulatory oversight. With a last inspection date in February 2017 and a moderate risk assessment rating, there is a potential for future risk management measures to be implemented to safeguard the dam and surrounding areas.
While the specifics of the dam's construction and completion year remain unknown, its designation as a recreational structure highlights its importance in providing water-based activities in the region. The dam, primarily consisting of earth and masonry materials, serves as a focal point for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a tranquil environment for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying nature. With a hazard potential deemed low and a risk assessment categorized as moderate, Price Lake Dam presents an opportunity for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the continued safety and enjoyment of its visitors.

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.
