Summary
Williams is a privately owned Earth dam located in Columbus, Georgia, specifically in Harris County. Completed in 1955, this dam serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, supporting recreational activities while also providing a habitat for local wildlife. The dam stands at a height of 36 feet and spans 775 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 310 acre-feet.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Eva K. Williams Dam has a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk rating. With a spillway width of 24 feet and a maximum discharge of 330 cubic feet per second, the dam is designed to handle potential overflow events effectively. Although the condition assessment of the dam is currently unavailable, it remains a key feature in the local water resource infrastructure, contributing to the conservation efforts in the area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Eva K. Williams Dam to be a noteworthy structure in the region, not only for its functional purposes but also for its environmental significance. By providing a safe habitat for fish and wildlife and offering recreational opportunities for the community, this dam showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices in preserving natural ecosystems. With its rich history dating back to the 1950s, Eva K. Williams Dam continues to play a vital role in the local water resource management efforts in Georgia.

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.
