Summary
Pond Dam #1, located in Claxton, Georgia, is a privately owned earth dam designed by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 243 acre-feet. With a surface area of 25 acres and a drainage area of 3208 acres, the dam serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts in Evans County.
Despite being unregulated by the state, Spandle Irrig. Pond Dam #1 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam has not been rated for its condition, but it was last inspected in July 2010 and is set to be inspected every 5 years. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, providing opportunities for water-based activities and wildlife habitat in the area.
Although the dam has not been modified or updated in recent years, its risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unclear. With its serene location and potential for future improvements to enhance safety and recreational opportunities, Spandle Irrig. Pond Dam #1 is a notable site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore in the Savannah District of 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.
