Summary

2, is a crucial asset in Cobb, Georgia, designed by Florence & Hutcheson to mitigate flood risks in the area. Completed in 2012, this earth dam stands at 20 feet high with a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet, serving its primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Located at a latitude of 33.996667 and a longitude of -84.541667, this structure plays a vital role in managing stormwater in the region.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the Mark Avenue Stormwater Structure provides essential flood control measures for the community. Although not rated for condition assessment, this facility continues to safeguard the area from potential inundation events. As a local government-owned asset, this structure exemplifies the collaboration between authorities and designers to enhance water resource management and climate resilience in Georgia.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of infrastructure like the Mark Avenue Stormwater Structure is key to appreciating the efforts made to protect communities from flooding. With its strategic design and functionality, this facility stands as a testament to the importance of proactive flood risk reduction measures in safeguarding our environment and ensuring sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
