Summary
This buttress type dam stands at a height of 9 feet with a length of 940 feet, providing a storage capacity of 202 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose and construction year are unspecified, but it is designed for uncontrolled spillway operations with a width of 5 feet.
Managed by the US Army, Pond 37 (Dam37) has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite the lack of detailed condition assessment data, the structure is subject to regular inspections every 4 years, with the last inspection conducted in February 2018. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not reported, it is noted that the structure does not fall under the jurisdiction of state regulatory agencies.
Overall, Pond 37 (Dam37) serves as an essential water management asset in the Savannah District, providing valuable storage capacity and flood control measures. As a key element in the federal water infrastructure, its maintenance and operational responsibilities lie with the US Army to ensure the safety and reliability of this vital resource in Georgia.

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.
