Summary
Built in 1969, this dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a hydraulic height of 8.8 feet. With a storage capacity of 2231 acre-feet and a surface area of 330 acres, this dam serves a vital purpose in managing wastewater and controlling the flow of Jumping Gulley Creek.
Despite being unregulated by the state, Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #6 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. While its condition is currently not rated, the dam has undergone inspections with a frequency of 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in April 2014. Although it has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, this dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the surrounding area and poses minimal risk to the community.
With its unique design features, including a buttress core type and unlisted/unknown foundation, Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #6 stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity and environmental stewardship. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a fascinating example of how infrastructure can harmoniously coexist with nature, providing essential services while minimizing potential risks to the environment and local communities.

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.
