Summary
The dam, with a height of 14 feet, is classified as a Buttress dam and has a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet. Although the dam is considered to have a low hazard potential, it is rated as having a moderate risk level. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in November 2004, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated structures. It is not regulated by the state but is subject to periodic inspections. Despite the lack of a formal condition assessment, the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition. The risk management measures and emergency action plan for the dam are not clearly documented, indicating potential areas for improvement in terms of preparedness and response in case of emergencies.
With its location in a picturesque setting in Georgia, Beulah Joe Pond Dam serves as an important water resource for the surrounding area. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate may find this dam intriguing due to its unique design, storage capacity, and risk level assessment. The dam's history and current status provide valuable insights into the management and maintenance of private dams in the region.

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.
