Summary
Built in 1966 by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), this 17-foot high structure holds a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet and covers an area of 11 acres. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a relatively safe and stable infrastructure in the region.
Despite being unregulated and uninspected by state authorities, Pearce Pond Dam has stood for over five decades without significant modifications. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses minimal risk to the surrounding community. While its condition remains unrated, the dam continues to serve as a popular recreational spot for water enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Located in Wilcox County, Georgia, the Pearce Pond Dam provides a serene environment for fishing, boating, and other leisure activities. While its exact purpose and usage may vary, the dam remains a vital part of the local landscape and contributes to the overall water resource management in the region.

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.
