Summary
P. Fielder and serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts. This private Earth dam stands at a height of 11.5 feet with a hydraulic height of 12.6 feet and a length of 345 feet, creating a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet. Despite being unlisted and exhibiting an uncontrolled spillway type, the dam poses a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While not currently regulated by the state, Fielder Mill Pond Dam undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
The dam's primary purpose of recreation attracts visitors to its picturesque surroundings, offering a surface area of 16.5 acres for outdoor activities. Although its drainage area is listed as zero, the dam provides a serene setting for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. With its location in Talbot County and oversight by the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Fielder Mill Pond Dam stands as a historical landmark that continues to provide enjoyment and relaxation for both locals and tourists alike.
Despite its age and design characteristics, Fielder Mill Pond Dam maintains a satisfactory condition assessment of "Not Rated" and a low hazard potential, ensuring the safety of its surroundings. The dam's risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps are currently unlisted, indicating opportunities for further assessment and improvement to enhance its resilience against potential climate challenges. As an integral part of Georgia's water resource infrastructure, the dam's legacy and recreational value make it a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.

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.
