Summary

Lake Dam, is a private earth dam located in Clyattville, Georgia. Built in 1953, this dam stands at a height of 11.4 feet and has a hydraulic height of 7.2 feet. With a storage capacity of 374 acre-feet, this dam serves multiple purposes, including being utilized for other activities.

Despite being unlisted as a state regulated structure, Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #3 has been inspected periodically, with the last recorded inspection dating back to April 25, 2014. Classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, this dam is considered to be in fair condition, as it has not been officially rated. While lacking detailed risk management measures and emergency action plans, the dam continues to stand as a key feature in the water resource infrastructure of the area.

Even though Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #3 may not be under active state regulation, its presence and function play a crucial role in the local water resource management system. With an established storage capacity and moderate risk assessment, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring and maintaining infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
