Summary
This dam, completed in an unspecified year, provides a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 43 acre-feet. The dam serves a primarily recreational purpose, creating a surface area of 4 acres for activities such as boating and fishing.
While Jere Power Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it poses a moderate risk level of 3. The last inspection conducted on this dam was in January 2011, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. It is noteworthy that the dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, which may impact its ability to manage water discharge during extreme weather events.
Despite not being regulated by the state, Jere Power Lake Dam remains under the jurisdiction of Georgia, showcasing the importance of private dam owners in managing water resources and climate-related risks. With its picturesque location and recreational offerings, this dam serves as a valuable asset to the local community while also highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
