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.
