Summary

A. Sargent Pond, located in Crisp, Georgia, is a privately owned Earth dam constructed in 1974 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for the primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. With a dam height of 14 feet and a length of 750 feet, this pond has a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet, making it suitable for irrigation purposes as well. Situated near Tr- Double Run Creek, this pond plays a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem and wildlife in the area.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, C. A. Sargent Pond is still subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The spillway, with a width of 36 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing excess water to flow out in case of heavy rainfall or flooding. The pond's maximum discharge capacity is 128 cubic feet per second, and it has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a need for ongoing risk management measures to be implemented.

Overall, C. A. Sargent Pond serves as an important water resource for the community of Willacoohee in Georgia, providing not only recreational opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing but also contributing to the local agricultural sector through irrigation capabilities. As climate change continues to impact water resources, this pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in ensuring the resilience of ecosystems and communities in the face of a changing climate.

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.
