Gwinnett Co. Rc And D Tm2 dam
Gwinnett Co. Rc And D Tm2
Gwinnett Co. Rc and D Tm2, also known as Tribble Mill No. 2, is a local government-owned recreational dam located in Gwinnett, Georgia. Constructed in 1985 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet and spans a length of 1150 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 862 acre-feet. Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not available, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure public safety.
With a primary purpose of recreation, Gwinnett Co. Rc and D Tm2 provides a surface area of 40 acres for outdoor activities in a scenic setting. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 150 feet, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 2400 cubic feet per second. While the risk assessment categorizes the dam as moderate, there are no detailed risk management measures or emergency action plans in place, raising concerns about the preparedness for potential incidents.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and advocate for the proper management of structures like Gwinnett Co. Rc and D Tm2 to prevent safety hazards and ensure sustainable use of water resources. By emphasizing the importance of regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness, we can help safeguard the surrounding community and preserve the recreational value of this dam for future generations.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Gwinnett Co. Rc And D Tm2
Where does the data for Gwinnett Co. Rc And D Tm2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
