Completed in 2007, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet with a hydraulic height of 15 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 183 acre-feet. The dam spans 679 feet in length and covers a surface area of 22 acres, serving a drainage area of 140 acres.
Despite its functional importance for irrigation, the dam's condition assessment in 2013 revealed a poor rating, with a high hazard potential. The inspection frequency is set at every two years, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring to ensure public safety. While Hunnicutt Lake Dam poses a moderate risk level, proactive risk management measures and a strong emergency action plan are crucial for mitigating potential hazards and ensuring the longevity of this critical water resource infrastructure in Georgia.
