What caused the Toccoa, Georgia dam break?
What caused the Toccoa, Georgia dam break?
Hi,
The dam above Toccoa Falls, Georgia, gave some cause for concern. 55 acres of lake pressed against an old earthen embankment built in 1887. Located in Northern Georgia’s Stephen’s County, it was about ninety miles northeast of Atlanta. Below the dam, Toccoa Creek plunged 186 feet in an uninterrupted drop, to emerge from a canyon beside a Christian and Missionary Alliance College.
The dam was old, made of earth and hadn’t been updated since 1887. Looks like the government agencies of the county didn’t do their job maintaining it.
Hope that helps.
