Summary

P. Stevens O. Co. Industrial Pond Dam, stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity since its completion in 1965. This private-owned Earth dam, with a height of 12 feet and a length of 2500 feet, serves as a storage reservoir with a capacity of 200 acre-feet. Its primary purpose revolves around industrial water management, making it a vital component in the region's water resource infrastructure.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam remains subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. The last inspection conducted in 2004 deemed the dam to be in satisfactory condition, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3. While it is not regulated by the state, it is still under the jurisdiction of Georgia authorities, ensuring that proper maintenance and oversight are maintained. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate would find the Nathaniel Plant Wastewater Dam an intriguing case study in sustainable water management within a private industrial setting.

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.
