Taylor is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Floyd, Georgia, specifically in Lumber City along the Tr- Alligator Creek. Constructed in 1951 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 870 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 290 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Taylor is to support fish and wildlife populations, as well as provide recreational opportunities for visitors.
With a significant hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Taylor's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Available." Despite the lack of detailed information on its condition, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, with a drainage area of 2.5 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 200 cubic feet per second. The spillway, measuring 45 feet in width, is uncontrolled, adding to the complexity of managing water levels during high flow events.
While specific details on inspections, emergency action plans, and risk management measures are not readily available, Taylor holds promise as a vital water resource structure that contributes to the conservation and protection of local ecosystems. Its location in a congressional district in Georgia highlights the importance of sustainable water management practices in the region, especially in the context of changing climate patterns and increasing water scarcity concerns. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, Taylor presents a unique opportunity to study the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems for the benefit of both.
