Hudson River 11 dam
Hudson River 11
Hudson River 11, located in Banks, Georgia, is a concrete dam completed in 1993 with a primary purpose of water supply. Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 62 feet and has a storage capacity of 1808 acre-feet. With a significant hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, this structure plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
The dam, situated on Mountain Creek, spans 600 feet in length and has a surface area of 49 acres, serving as a vital water supply source for the surrounding area. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam has not experienced any major modifications since its completion and is inspected every five years. While the condition assessment is currently not available, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness status are yet to be fully detailed.
With its strategic location and crucial role in water supply, Hudson River 11 is a key infrastructure for the community of Hollingsworth/Baldwin. As a significant structure with a moderate risk assessment, continued monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure its reliability and resilience in the face of potential hazards. The dam's adherence to safety guidelines and emergency preparedness protocols will be crucial in safeguarding the surrounding area from any potential risks associated with its operations.

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 Hudson River 11
Where does the data for Hudson River 11 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.
