Enhancing Safety and Functionality at Lake Arrowhead Dam

Lake Arrowhead, a private lake in the North Georgia mountains of Cherokee County, serves as both a scenic centerpiece and a critical water resource for the surrounding residential community. The Lake Arrowhead Dam is essential for maintaining water levels and flood control. PeoplesQuigley | DCCM provided comprehensive engineering and construction management services to ensure the dam’s compliance with GA DNR EPD – SDP permit requirements. Our team updated the Emergency Action Plan, assisted with permitting and bidding, and prepared construction drawings, technical specifications, and a design report for concrete spillway repairs. During construction, we coordinated closely with regulatory agencies, facilitated permitting, and provided ongoing support to implement renovations efficiently. These efforts not only enhanced the dam’s structural functionality and safety but also delivered practical solutions that improved water quality and long-term operational reliability.
