Hendrix Pond Dam, located in Bulloch, Georgia, was completed in 1956 and stands at a height of 11 feet with a length of 580 feet. The primary purpose of this earth dam is for recreation, providing a surface area of 12 acres and a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet. While the dam is not state-regulated, it is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in October 2004.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, making it susceptible to potential hazards in the event of extreme weather conditions or structural weaknesses. With a moderate risk level, there is a need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both recreational and environmental purposes.
