Summary
The dam, designed by Bill Devane, stands at a height of 13.3 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. With a surface area of 5.7 acres, the dam also serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water-based activities.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Pebble Creek Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and it has not been modified or inspected in recent years. While the dam may not be state-regulated, its crucial role in providing recreational opportunities in the area highlights the importance of ensuring its safety and maintenance for both water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Located in the Savannah District, Pebble Creek Lake Dam offers a tranquil escape for visitors seeking a peaceful retreat in the scenic Thomasville county. As a key part of the local landscape, this dam not only enhances the natural beauty of the region but also serves as a reminder of the vital role that water resources play in supporting outdoor recreation and environmental conservation efforts.

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.
