Summary

This dam has a storage capacity of 121 acre-feet and a normal storage of 81 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam poses a relatively low risk to the surrounding area.

Although the dam is not state regulated or permitted, it is inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted in May 2017. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. Despite being classified as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the overall risk management measures for Beasley Lake Dam are considered to be moderate.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Beasley Lake Dam will find it to be an intriguing structure with significant storage capacity. While the dam may not be heavily regulated, its risk assessment and management measures indicate a level of attention to safety and maintenance. The dam's location in Toombs, Georgia, adds to its appeal as a site of interest for those studying water resource management and climate impacts on infrastructure.

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.
