Summary
Built in 1979 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this earth dam structure stands at 15 feet tall and spans 700 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. The pond is situated along Tr- Lime Creek and has a low hazard potential, making it a safe and sustainable water resource for the surrounding area.
Despite its age, Marvin Lewis Pond has a moderate risk rating of 3, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures. The pond features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 36 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 150 cubic feet per second. While the condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Available," the pond's risk assessment suggests that proactive measures may be necessary to ensure its continued safety and functionality. Overall, Marvin Lewis Pond serves as a valuable resource for both wildlife conservation and agricultural irrigation in the region.
With its tranquil setting and vital role in supporting local ecosystems, Marvin Lewis Pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management. As a private pond under the ownership of a private entity, this structure represents a collaborative effort between landowners and conservation agencies to create a beneficial environment for aquatic life and agricultural activities. Moving forward, continued monitoring and potential risk management measures will be essential to safeguard the pond's integrity and ensure its long-term viability as a critical water resource in the Crisp County area.

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.
