"politicalPartyId":null, "privateDamId":null, "projectDescription":"The West Point Dam was authorized by Congress in the 1962 under the Flood Control Act to generate hydropower, reduce flooding in downstream communities, and to provide for recreation. West Point Dam is located on the Chattahoochee River about 3 miles north of West Point, Georgia. It was designed and constructed from 1966 to 1975 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and resulted in the formation of West Point Lake, a 40 square mile reservoir, that supplies water to Georgia and Alabama.\n\nThe West Point Dam is constructed of concrete and earthen dams and includes a powerhouse and a gated spillway. Water is released to the river downstream through the spillway and the powerhouse. The overall dam length is 7,250 feet, with a crest elevation of 652 feet. The length of the concrete portion of the dam is 896 feet.", "riskCharSummary":"USACE completed a risk assessment in 2016 which classified the risks associated with the project as moderate. The classification was driven by the condition of concrete bulkheads in the powerhouse. Structural modifications to address this issue were completed in 2020. The The dam significantly reduces the risk of flooding to downstream communities. However, it does not entirely eliminate the risk. Lanett, AL and West Point, GA are located nearby about 3 miles downstream of the dam. During large storm events, the dam\u2019s spillway gates will be opened to keep the reservoir level below the top of the spillway gates. As the gates rise open, the flow in the river downstream is increased and more water is allowed to be held in the reservoir. During an extreme storm event, an exceedingly large flow may need to be passed through the spillway to prevent the lake from reaching the top of the dam and downstream flooding will occur. In the highly unlikely event of a dam failure, flood waters would be very swift and deep and cause catastrophic flooding, widespread economic impacts, and life loss, particularly in the vicinity of West Point, GA and Lanett, AL and have severe impacts downstream in communities such as Phenix City, AL: and Columbus, GA. Key infrastructure along the river would be damaged or destroyed and historic flooding would occur all the way to the Gulf of America, impacting the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.", "riskManagementMeasures":"USACE manages dam-related flood risks by continually monitoring the condition and health of the dam, prioritizing activities that will most impact the risks, and engaging upstream and downstream emergency managers and members of the public to raise awareness of the dam and support actions to prepare and be ready to respond in the case of a dam-related emergency. USACE works closely with local emergency managers to share what is known about the dam and support the development of local emergency and evacuation plans. USACE regularly updates the emergency action plan for the dam. Regular maintenance and repairs are performed as needed to keep the dam functioning properly. \n\nFlood risk awareness suggestions:\n\nExamine West Point Dam breach and non-breach flood inundation layers in the map viewer to the right.\n\nCreate a family emergency plan and determine your evacuation route with the goal of getting to higher ground. \nVisit: www.ready.gov\n\nConnect with your local representatives and officials to sign up for personalized alerts.\nGeorgia EMA (GEMA) Alerts and Warnings\thttps://gema.georgia.gov/plan-prepare/alerts-and-warnings.\nGEMA County EMA Directory https://gema.georgia.gov/locations\nAlabama EMA https://ema.alabama.gov/\nAEMA County EMA Directory https://ema.alabama.gov/county-ema-directory\n\nConsider purchasing flood insurance to protect your property\nVisit: www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program\n\nConnect with the USACE to learn more about West Point Dam. \nCheck out the West Point Dam entry in the National Inventory of Dams (http://nid/usace.army.mil)\nFollow the Mobile District on Facebook at www.facebook.com/USACEMOBILE/\nWest Point Lake on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WestPointLake.USACE/", "riverName":"CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER", "separateStructuresCount":0, "sourceAgency":"US Army Corps of Engineers", "spillwayTypeId":1, "spillwayWidth":300, "stateFedId":"GA00820", "stateRegulatoryAgency":null, "stateRegulatedId":0, "structuralHeight":132, "submitDate":"2023-06-22T14:25:02.841Z", "surfaceArea":25864, "volume":1526000, "widthOfLocks":0, "secondaryWidthOfLocks":null, "yearCompleted":1974, "congDist":"Congressional District 03, Georgia", "city":"WEST POINT", "county":"Troup", "aiannh":null, "websiteUrl":"https://www.sam.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Recreation/West-Point-Lake/", "coreTypeIds":null, "damTypeIds":"9;8", "fedConstructionIds":"1", "fedDesignIds":"1", "fedFundingIds":"1", "fedInspectionIds":"1", "fedOperationIds":"1", "fedOtherIds":"1", "fedOwnerIds":"1", "fedRegulatoryIds":"1", "formerNames":null, "foundationTypeIds":null, "nonFederalDamOnFederalId":0, "designerNames":"CESAS", "otherNames":"West Point Lake", "ownerNames":"USACE - Mobile District", "ownerTypeIds":"3", "primaryDamTypeId":9, "primaryOwnerTypeId":3, "primaryPurposeId":6, "purposeIds":"6;5;9", "dsacId":3, "femaRegion":"4", "lastEapExcerDate":"2025-07-09T12:00:00.000Z", "dataUpdated":"2025-07-09T12:00:00.000Z", "usaceDistrict":"Mobile District", "noConsequencesId":0, "secretaryAgricultureBuiltId":null, "nrcsWatershedAuthorizationId":null, "isAssociatedStructureId":"No", "fedRegulatedId":"Yes", "inundationNidAddedId":1, "damStatusId":2, "huc06":"031300", "doi_region":null, "doi_region_name":"South Atlantic Gulf", "doi_region_number":2, "thirtyYearAverage":699.2676, "tenthPercentile":670.0262, "ninetiethPercentile":738.6078 }, "id":25912039, "links":[ { "type":"application/json", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=json" }, { "type":"text/html", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=html" }, { "rel":"self", "type":"application/geo+json", "title":"This document as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/25912039?f=json" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"application/ld+json", "title":"This document as RDF (JSON-LD)", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/25912039?f=jsonld" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"text/html", "title":"This document as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/25912039?f=html" }, { "rel":"collection", "type":"application/json", "title":"USACE Access2Water API", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr" } ] }
