Summary
Built in 2006 by the NRCS for irrigation purposes, this structure stands at a height of 19 feet and has a storage capacity of 152 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 3110 acres, the dam helps in managing water resources for agricultural needs in the region.
The dam has a spillway type of uncontrolled and uncontrolled outlet gates. Although its hazard potential is undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate. The dam, with a length of 650 feet and a surface area of 14 acres, plays a crucial role in water management in Telfair County. The last inspection in May 2017 revealed no specific concerns, but regular monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in the face of changing climate conditions.
Located in the Savannah District, Jay Morgan Properties Lake Dam provides a vital water resource infrastructure in the region, serving as a key component for irrigation. With its moderate risk assessment, the dam underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to safeguard its structural integrity and ensure efficient water management practices in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role and condition of dams like Jay Morgan Properties Lake Dam is essential in addressing the challenges posed by a changing climate on water resources.

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.
