10, located in Paulding, Georgia, is a state-owned earth dam designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in 1964 for flood risk reduction. Standing at a height of 42.5 feet with a hydraulic height of 37.7 feet, this structure has a maximum storage capacity of 874 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 72.6 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the condition of the dam is currently not rated, and it last underwent inspection in July 2018.
The dam's uncontrolled spillway type and outlet gates suggest a simple yet effective design for managing water flow in the Pumpkinvine Creek watershed. While the structure has not been modified in recent years and does not have a designated emergency action plan, its risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. With a history of state inspection and enforcement, this dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the strategic placement and purposeful design of Pumpkinvine Creek Watershed Structure No. 10 in maintaining the ecological balance of the region.
