Summary
This earth dam, primarily used for recreation, impounds Rocky Creek to create a reservoir with a storage capacity of 158 acre-feet. With a surface area of 18 acres and a drainage area of 405 square miles, the dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts in the Soperton North Environs.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Fowler Pond Dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam, designed by James Fowler, has not been inspected since December 2014 but is considered to be in a satisfactory condition. With uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, the dam remains a key feature in the local landscape and provides recreational opportunities for the community.
While the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, it plays a vital role in the local ecosystem and water resource management. As climate change continues to impact water resources, maintaining the safety and integrity of dams like Fowler Pond Dam is crucial for ensuring sustainable water supply and preserving the natural environment for future generations.

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.
