Summary
With a dam height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet, this earth dam on the Weatherford Branch river stream serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located within the Savannah District of Georgia, this dam does not fall under state regulation or inspection. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the Proposed Nash Cattle Farm Lake Dam presents a manageable risk level and has not been rated for condition assessment. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find this dam intriguing for its primary purpose and design features, making it an interesting case study in private dam ownership and management.
For those interested in the intersection of agriculture and water resource management, the Proposed Nash Cattle Farm Lake Dam offers a unique perspective on how private landowners can contribute to fire protection and stock water supply while also supporting local ecosystems. With its earth dam construction and modest storage capacity, this structure highlights the importance of sustainable water use practices in rural settings. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam serves as a vital resource for the Nash Cattle Farm and the surrounding community.

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.
