Summary

This earth dam, designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in 1967, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Flatrock Creek. With a height of 59 feet and a storage capacity of 2360 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

The dam has a satisfactory condition assessment as of February 2017, with a high hazard potential due to its location. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the structure meets regulatory standards for inspection, permitting, and enforcement by the Georgia SAFE DAMS program. With a drainage area of 3558 acres and a surface area of 24 acres, Bull Creek WS Str # 25 has a significant impact on the local water ecosystem and poses a critical infrastructure for flood control and water resource management in the area.

As a key component in the flood risk reduction strategy for Columbus, Georgia, Bull Creek WS Str # 25 is a vital structure that requires regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness. With its strategic location on the Flatrock Creek and its high hazard potential, this dam serves as a crucial defense against potential flooding events in the region. By meeting regulatory standards and having a satisfactory condition assessment, this earth dam remains a cornerstone in the local water resource and climate management efforts.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
