Mundys Millpond Dam dam
Mundys Millpond Dam
Mundys Millpond Dam, located in Clayton, Georgia, was completed in 1907 and serves as a vital recreational resource for the community. The dam, with a height of 15.2 feet and a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, creates an 11-acre surface area for various water activities. Situated on Flint Swamp Creek, the dam is primarily used for recreation and offers a picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy.
Despite its age, Mundys Millpond Dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk assessment. The dam, constructed primarily of earth materials with a buttress core, has not been rated for its current condition. However, regular inspections are conducted, with the last one taking place in December 2014. While the dam is uncontrolled, its operations and safety measures are managed by the local government to ensure the well-being of the surrounding community and environment.
With its historical significance and important role in providing recreational opportunities, Mundys Millpond Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and community engagement. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and support the upkeep of such structures to safeguard both the environment and the enjoyment of future generations who will benefit from its presence along Flint Swamp Creek.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Mundys Millpond Dam
Where does the data for Mundys Millpond Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
