Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 14.7 feet and a hydraulic height of 13.7 feet, provides a storage capacity of 77.8 acre-feet. While its hazard potential is classified as low, the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no state regulation or inspection currently in place.
Despite being of unknown construction date, County Road Pond Dam remains an essential part of the local landscape, offering a surface area of 7.4 acres for recreational activities. While it has not been rated for condition assessment, its risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unspecified. Located within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate considerations in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, County Road Pond Dam serves as a focal point for understanding the balance between recreational benefits and potential risks associated with dam infrastructure. As a locally managed earth dam, its role in providing storage capacity and supporting outdoor activities underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With its moderate risk profile and unregulated status, there is an opportunity for stakeholders to engage in proactive measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this crucial water resource asset in Colquitt, 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.
