Summary
is a private earth dam located in Toombs, Georgia, along the Little Rocky Creek. This dam serves as a water resource management structure, with a storage capacity of 595 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 93 acre-feet. The dam has a height of 14 feet and covers a surface area of 31 acres. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has undergone inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection taking place in May 2017.
While the hazard potential of Ga Pine Straw INC. is deemed low, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level of 3. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. With a history of no reported modifications or emergency action plans, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water management within the Savannah District. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ga Pine Straw INC. presents an interesting case study of a privately-owned dam contributing to the local hydrological landscape.

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.
