Regis Pond Dam, located in Chattahoochee, Georgia, is a Federal-owned structure completed in 1930 primarily for recreation purposes. The earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet, with a hydraulic height of 23.2 feet, and spans 305 feet in length. It has a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 66 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 6 acres within a drainage area of 90 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, St. Regis Pond Dam has not been rated for its current condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no regulated inspection or enforcement by the state. While there have been no recorded modifications or emergency action plans for the dam, its association with the US Army Corps of Engineers is notably absent, indicating limited federal oversight or involvement in its operations.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the St. Regis Pond Dam presents an intriguing case study of a relatively small, yet historically significant structure. With its recreational focus and limited regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a reminder of the diverse landscape of water infrastructure across the United States. As debates around dam safety and maintenance continue to evolve, the St. Regis Pond Dam stands as a testament to the complexities of managing and maintaining our water resources in an era of changing climate patterns.
