Summary
Standing at a height of 20 feet and with a storage capacity of 103 acre-feet, this dam serves a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Although it has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not been recently inspected or rated for its condition.
With a history that dates back to an unspecified completion year, Edenfield Lake Dam plays a key role in maintaining water levels and providing flood protection in the region. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and outlet gates, with a surface area of 9 acres and a normal storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. Despite its importance, the dam is not subject to state permitting or enforcement, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
Serving as a vital component of the local water infrastructure, Edenfield Lake Dam is a significant feature in the Savannah District. While it currently has no associated structures and is not regulated by the state, its role in water storage and management cannot be understated. With a risk assessment rating of moderate and a low hazard potential, ongoing monitoring and risk management measures are essential to safeguard the surrounding community and ensure the dam's reliability in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource demands.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
