Peacock Dam 2 dam
Peacock Dam 2
Peacock Dam 2, also known as Peacock Pond 2, is a private earth dam located in Lumber City, Georgia. Built in 1977 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and irrigation. With a height of 22 feet and a length of 725 feet, Peacock Dam 2 has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 240 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Peacock Dam 2 presents a moderate risk level due to its condition assessment being currently unavailable. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet and is situated on Tr- Reedy Creek, serving as a crucial water resource for the surrounding area. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not readily available, its role in water supply and environmental conservation makes it an essential asset for the community.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts in Bleckley, Georgia, can appreciate the significance of Peacock Dam 2 in providing water storage for various purposes. As a privately owned structure, the dam's maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure its continued functionality and safety. With a history dating back to the late 1970s, Peacock Dam 2 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in mitigating risks and supporting local ecosystems.

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 Peacock Dam 2
Where does the data for Peacock Dam 2 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 Low 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.
