Summary

has recently completed the construction of a new irrigation pond dam in Jefferson, Georgia. This private-owned structure, designed by REDFIELD, serves the primary purpose of irrigation and is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Standing at a height of 15 feet with a hydraulic height of 13 feet, the dam has a length of 705 feet and a storage capacity of 235 acre-feet.

The Redfield Farms, INC. New Irrigation Pond Dam was completed in 1984 and is located in Jefferson, Georgia. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural irrigation purposes in the region. Although last inspected in 1997, the dam's overall condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for periodic evaluations to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

As water resources and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor the maintenance and inspection of dams like Redfield Farms, INC. New Irrigation Pond Dam to mitigate potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, this dam plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the region while also highlighting the importance of proper infrastructure management in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
