The dam, classified as an Earth type with a buttress core, stands at a height of 26 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24.6 feet. With a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet and a surface area of 4.4 acres, the dam poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment.
Managed by the Georgia Safe Dams Program, the Glenover Drive Lake Dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure public safety. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, indicating a need for risk management measures to mitigate potential dangers. The last inspection in January 2017 revealed poor conditions, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to prevent structural failures.
The dam's location in Birmingham, GA, and its proximity to the Unnamed river or stream make it a critical infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As efforts to address the dam's poor condition and high hazard potential continue, stakeholders must prioritize safety measures and risk management to protect the surrounding community and the environment from potential hazards.
