Summary
This Earth-type dam has a height of 9 feet and a length of 4750 feet, providing a storage capacity of 238 acre-feet. With a surface area of 26 acres and a drainage area of 28 acres, this pond serves as a key component in the wastewater treatment process for the local government.
Located within the Jacksonville District of Georgia, this oxidation pond plays a crucial role in managing and treating wastewater for the City of Nashville. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the facility has not been inspected since May 2016, suggesting a need for further evaluation and maintenance. Although not currently regulated by the state, the pond is subject to periodic inspections to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the City of Nashville Oxidation Pond remains an essential infrastructure for water management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial for local governments to prioritize the upkeep and modernization of such facilities to ensure the sustainability and resilience of their water systems.

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.
