Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet and stretches over 600 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, making it a relatively safe structure for visitors to enjoy.
Situated on TR-Bull Creek within Evans County, Sims Pond Dam offers a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts to engage in recreational activities such as fishing or boating. The dam is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, ensuring the controlled release of water in case of excess flow. Although the dam's condition remains unrated as of its last inspection in 2010, its moderate risk assessment suggests that proper risk management measures should be in place to mitigate any potential hazards.
With its picturesque location and moderate risk level, Sims Pond Dam is an inviting destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a tranquil setting to appreciate nature. While the dam's condition assessment remains pending, visitors can still enjoy the recreational opportunities it offers, all while being surrounded by the beauty of Evans County, Georgia.

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.
