Summary
Built in 1953 by Owens Illinois, this earth dam stands at 11.6 feet high with a hydraulic height of 10.8 feet and a length of 1200 feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 152 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 108 acre-feet.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, this dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. It does not have a state permit or regulatory agency overseeing it, but it is subject to state inspections. The last inspection was conducted in April 2014, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #2 remains a crucial structure in managing water resources in the area, with a surface area of 24 acres and serving a drainage area of 25 square miles.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #2 offers an intriguing case study in private dam ownership and management. Its historical significance, design specifications, and risk assessment provide valuable insights into the complexities of maintaining water infrastructure in a changing climate. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the role of structures like Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #2 becomes increasingly important for ensuring the resilience and sustainability of our water systems.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
