Summary
The dam, with a height of 18.5 feet and a length of 798 feet, is classified as an Earth type structure with a Buttress core. It has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9.9 acres. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it has uncontrolled outlet gates.
Despite being a privately owned dam, N M Carter Family Partnership Lake Dam is subject to state inspection with a frequency of every 5 years, with the last inspection taking place in July 2016. The dam's hazard potential is currently listed as undetermined, and its overall condition has not been rated. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a DSAC (Dam Safety Action Classification) of 3, indicating a need for monitoring and potential management measures to ensure the dam's safety and integrity.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find N M Carter Family Partnership Lake Dam to be an intriguing case study due to its unique design features, such as the use of an Earth type structure with a Buttress core. The dam's location in Worth County, Georgia, and its involvement with the USDA & NRCS during the design phase add further depth to its story. With a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet and a surface area of 9.9 acres, this dam plays a significant role in water management in the region. Ongoing state inspections and a moderate risk assessment underscore the importance of maintaining the dam to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
