Summary
Jones Lake Dam, located in Webster, Georgia, is a privately owned Earth dam with a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 34 acre-feet. Designed by Mike Goore and Jim Napier, this dam is regulated by the state and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam poses minimal risk to its surroundings.
Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, J.E. Jones Lake Dam has not been modified since its completion, and its condition is currently rated as "Not Rated." The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are also not specified in the available data. While the dam's risk assessment is moderate, its location in a low-risk area contributes to the overall safety of the structure.
With its tranquil surroundings and minimal risk profile, J.E. Jones Lake Dam serves as a reliable water resource in Webster, Georgia. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the careful design and maintenance of this Earth dam, which provides essential storage capacity while prioritizing safety and risk management.

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.
