Summary

Built in 1978, this dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation, with a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 69 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 18.6 feet and spans a length of 1770 feet, covering a surface area of 5.6 acres.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. It is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, and has undergone its last inspection in January 2011. The risk assessment for this dam is moderate, indicating potential risks that may need to be addressed in the future. With its location in a region with a drainage area of 300 square miles, the Kmc Irrigation Pond Dam North plays a crucial role in managing water resources for agricultural purposes in the area.

Overall, Kmc Irrigation Pond Dam North is a key infrastructure for irrigation in Tift County, Georgia. Its construction in 1978 has provided valuable water storage capacity for agricultural activities in the region. With a moderate risk assessment and a low hazard potential, ongoing monitoring and maintenance will be essential to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of this earth dam for water resource management in the area.

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.
