4 I. GENERAL INFORMATION Peachtree City is planning to replace the existing concrete overflow spillway at the Peachtree City Lake Dam. The existing impoundment is located in the western portion of Fayette County approximately 0.8 miles east of the intersection of State Route 54 with State Route 74; the dam is located on Kelly Drive, approximately 0.25 miles east of the intersection of Kelly Drive with State Route 74. The dam consists of an earthen embankment section and a concrete spillway section.
