Summary

2, located in Morgan, Georgia, is a private-owned earth dam designed by F. Flournoy. With a height of 32 feet and a storage capacity of 530 acre-feet, this dam serves as a crucial water resource in the region. While it has a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.

Despite being state-regulated and inspected, Kennedy Lake Dam No. 2 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, indicating that water flow management is critical for its operation. With a drainage area of 0 and a surface area of 25 acres, the dam plays a vital role in water storage and management within the region, supporting various ecological and human activities.

With its historical significance and environmental impact, Kennedy Lake Dam No. 2 stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water availability and quality, dams like Kennedy Lake Dam No. 2 play a key role in mitigating risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices. As enthusiasts in water resources and climate, understanding the intricate details of structures like Kennedy Lake Dam No. 2 provides valuable insights into the ongoing efforts to safeguard our water resources for future generations.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
