About Hoover-frankum Watershed Dam A- 12
The primary purpose of Hoover-frankum Watershed Dam A- 12 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 Hoover-frankum Ws District (local government). It impounds the Mill Creek near Dawsonville.
The dam stands 19 feet tall and stretches 485 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 19 square miles. Completed in 1966, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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. The most recent inspection on record was 11/01/2004. That was over 21 years ago.
