Summary
H. Judy, located in Jenkins, Georgia, is a private Fish and Wildlife Pond dam constructed in 1974 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the USDA NRCS. The dam stands at a height of 9 feet with a length of 750 feet, providing a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. The primary purpose of R. H. Judy is to support fish and wildlife habitats in the area, enhancing the local ecosystem.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, R. H. Judy is a vital water resource structure in the region. The dam controls the flow of Tr- Buckhead Creek and plays a crucial role in managing water levels and providing essential support to the surrounding wildlife. Despite its age, the condition assessment of R. H. Judy is currently not available, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued function and safety.
As a key component of the local water infrastructure, R. H. Judy serves as a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Its construction and management by the USDA NRCS reflect a commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable water management practices. With its focus on supporting fish and wildlife habitats, this private dam contributes to the overall ecological health of the area, showcasing the importance of responsible water resource development for both humans and the natural world.

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.
