Designed by Jordan Jones and Goulding, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 240 feet in length. It has a storage capacity of 19 acre-feet and a surface area of 2 acres, with an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates.
Although the dam is classified as low hazard potential, its risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The last inspection took place in 2005, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition of the dam is currently not rated, and there is no emergency action plan (EAP) in place. With its location in Forsyth County, Georgia, the dam plays a crucial role in controlling water flow and mitigating potential flood risks in the area.
Overall, Bluegrass Detention Pond Dam No 2 serves as an important infrastructure for water resource management in the region. While it has not undergone recent assessments, its design and construction have stood the test of time since its completion. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resources, monitoring and maintenance of dams like this are essential to ensure their continued functionality and safety.
