Dixon Dam, located in Girard, Burke County, Georgia, was completed in 2006 with a primary purpose that is not specified. The dam is owned by a private entity and stands as an earth-type structure with a buttress core design, reaching a height of 16 feet and a length of 520 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 146 acre-feet and serves the Mobley Branch river or stream.
Despite being labeled as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Dixon Dam has not been rated for its condition. The dam operates with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, and is subject to inspections every five years. With its location in a region of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, the dam provides a valuable case study for understanding the management and risks associated with small-scale water infrastructure in the area. Further research and assessment of the dam's condition and risk management measures could contribute to informed decision-making and potentially improve its overall safety and effectiveness in water resource management.
