Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam dam
Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam
Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam in Douglasville, Georgia, serves as a crucial flood risk reduction structure designed by Civil & Environmental Consultants. This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet, with a storage capacity of 20.1 acre-feet and a spillway type classified as uncontrolled. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located in Douglas County, Georgia, the Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam plays a vital role in mitigating potential flooding events in the area. Despite not being state-regulated, the dam undergoes regular inspections with a frequency of 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The dam's design, featuring a buttress core type, and its low hazard potential highlight its importance in safeguarding the local community from flood-related risks.
With a risk assessment rating of moderate, the Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam underscores the importance of effective stormwater management in the face of climate change challenges. While its condition assessment remains unrated, the dam's strategic location and design contribute significantly to flood risk reduction efforts in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of structures like this dam is crucial in promoting sustainable water management practices amidst evolving environmental conditions.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam
Where does the data for Arbor Place Mall Stormwater Management Pond #2 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
