Summary

Designed by ED ADAMS, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a storage capacity of 47 acre-feet. The dam, classified as low hazard potential, is uncontrolled with uncontrolled outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway. It was last inspected in July 2016 and rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.

Although the dam is not regulated by the state, it is subject to state jurisdiction and inspection. The risk assessment for Lpc Lake Dam is moderate (3), indicating a moderate level of risk associated with the structure. While an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is not currently prepared or meeting guidelines, the dam is deemed to have moderate risk management measures in place. The surrounding area presents a low hazard potential, suggesting a relatively low level of risk to nearby communities in case of a dam failure.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lpc Lake Dam offers an interesting case study of a privately owned recreational structure in Georgia. The dam's design, storage capacity, and risk assessment provide valuable insights into the management and assessment of dams in the region. As the dam is not regulated by the state, its condition and safety measures rely heavily on private ownership and inspection practices. Further research and monitoring of Lpc Lake Dam could contribute to a better understanding of dam safety and risk management in similar recreational settings.

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.
