Summary
Positioned in the city of Newton, this dam serves a primary purpose of recreation, offering a serene oasis for visitors to enjoy. Constructed as an earth dam with a buttress core type, it stands at a height of 6.7 feet and has a hydraulic height of 5.5 feet, providing a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a surface area of 15.6 acres.
While the dam is classified as low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition, it is still important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to be aware of its existence. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and outlet gates, with a drainage area of 71 square miles. Despite not being under state regulation or inspection, the dam presents a moderate risk level and may require further assessment and management measures in the future.
As part of the Savannah District in Georgia, the Pineland Plantation Reflection Pond Dam adds to the diverse landscape of water resources in the region. With its tranquil setting and recreational offerings, it serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for both safety and enjoyment. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience, understanding the characteristics and risks associated with dams like this one is vital for promoting sustainable practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
