Summary
Dam 1, located in Remerton, Georgia, was completed in 1969 and is owned by a private entity. The dam, primarily used for irrigation purposes, stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 900 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 159 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 72 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
The dam is situated on the Tr- Gator Branch river and is regulated by the USDA NRCS. With a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is closely monitored for any potential risks or hazards. Although the condition assessment of the dam is not available, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed about the safety and management of such structures to ensure the sustainability of water resources in the region.
Despite limited information on inspections and emergency preparedness measures, Ponder Plant Co. Dam 1 remains a key component in the irrigation infrastructure of Tift County, Georgia. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, it is imperative for stakeholders to collaborate on effective risk management strategies to safeguard this vital water resource infrastructure for future generations.

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.
