Summary
Standing at a height of 11.8 feet, this dam serves multiple purposes including water storage and flood control. With a maximum storage capacity of 105.4 acre-feet and a normal storage of 61.9 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite being unregulated by the state, Kennedy Pond Dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with an undetermined hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures are actively monitored to address any potential issues that may arise.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Kennedy Pond Dam represents a key infrastructure in the local ecosystem, providing essential water storage and flood control capabilities. As a privately owned structure with a moderate risk assessment, it highlights the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the continued safety and functionality of dams in the area. With its strategic location and design features, Kennedy Pond Dam serves as a critical component in the overall water management system of Bulloch County, 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.
