Summary
Built in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans a length of 640 feet, with a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a crucial water resource for the surrounding area, despite being uncontrolled and not currently regulated by the state.
Located at a latitude of 32.867778 and longitude of -82.847222, Andrews Pond Dam is a part of the Charleston District and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia. While it has not been inspected since November 1997, the dam's condition is not rated, highlighting the need for updated assessments and potential risk management measures. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this structure fascinating for its historical significance and ecological impact on the local landscape.
As a vital component of the region's water management system, Andrews Pond Dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and maintaining water supply stability. With its unique design features and storage capacity, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climatic conditions. Its presence underscores the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of this essential infrastructure for both current and future generations.

Dam Data Reference
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.
