Summary
Timberlands Rec. Pond Dam, also known as Kimberly-Clark Lake Dam, is a private recreational dam located in Screven, Georgia. Constructed in 1963 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans a length of 720 feet. With a storage capacity of 385 acre-feet and a surface area of 33 acres, the dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management measures. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in March 2018, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the condition assessment of the dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," efforts to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure are in place, although there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared at this time.
With its picturesque setting and recreational opportunities, S.E. Timberlands Rec. Pond Dam provides a valuable resource for the local community and visitors alike. As a private-owned facility, the dam contributes to the conservation and enjoyment of water resources in the area, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of responsible stewardship and maintenance of our natural environment in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
