About Lake Rhonda
The primary purpose of Lake Rhonda is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Ssteve Crockett (private). It impounds the Timber Branch near Gibbs.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 383 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 32 square miles. Completed in 1998, the structure is 28 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
