Summary

The dam stands at a height of 23 feet and stretches 450 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet. While the dam is classified as low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment, its condition has not been rated, and it is not currently regulated or inspected by the state.

Designed by SCS, Beall Pond Dam 2 features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. The dam's construction year, inspection frequency, and emergency action plan status are all unknown, indicating a lack of recent oversight and preparedness. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses some risk, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the Beall Pond Dam 2 may be intrigued by its unique design features, storage capacity, and risk assessment. The dam's location in the Savannah District adds to its appeal, while the lack of state regulation and inspection raises questions about its safety and maintenance protocols. Further research and monitoring of Beall Pond Dam 2 could provide valuable insights into its long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
