Summary
Completed in 1982, this dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 38.5 acre-feet. The dam, with a length of 930 feet, serves a drainage area of 83 square miles and covers a surface area of 7 acres.
Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Fuller Irrigation Pond Dam South has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment. The dam has not been rated for its condition, but it is regularly monitored for any potential risks. With no state jurisdiction or permitting requirements, the dam operates without state inspection or enforcement. Located in the jurisdiction of the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam plays a vital role in supporting irrigation activities in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Fuller Irrigation Pond Dam South offers a unique example of a privately owned earth dam designed specifically for irrigation purposes. Its construction and operational details provide valuable insights into the management of water resources for agricultural needs. With a focus on risk assessment and hazard potential, this dam serves as a case study for understanding the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure for sustainable water management in the face of changing climatic 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.
