Summary
The dam has a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres. While it has a low hazard potential, its risk assessment is rated as moderate (3), indicating a need for proactive risk management measures.
This dam, under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia, is not regulated by the state but undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. Despite being uncontrolled, with uncontrolled outlet gates and spillway, Mullins Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. However, with a designated inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unspecified, highlighting areas for potential improvement in its safety protocols.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mullins Lake Dam serves as an intriguing case study in private dam infrastructure management. Its moderate risk assessment and lack of certain safety protocols underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance for dams, especially those with potential public safety implications. Future updates on its condition assessment and risk management measures could provide valuable insights into the resilience of private dams in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
