Summary
Owned privately, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a length of 700 feet. With a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet, the pond serves as a crucial water resource for the surrounding area, particularly during dry spells.
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this low-hazard dam has a moderate risk assessment rating. The spillway, measuring 56 feet in width, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 600 cubic feet per second. While the condition assessment is currently not available, the pond plays a vital role in ensuring water availability for agricultural activities in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Georgia Experiment Station Pond serves as an interesting case study in dam infrastructure and water management practices in the state of Georgia.
Despite its low hazard potential, the pond's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, necessitating ongoing monitoring and management measures to ensure its continued safety and functionality. As a key irrigation source in the area, the pond highlights the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climatic conditions. With its location near Tr- Ty Ty Creek and a drainage area of 0.43 square miles, the Georgia Experiment Station Pond stands as a testament to the intersection of infrastructure, agriculture, and environmental stewardship in Georgia.

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.
