Summary
This earth dam, primarily constructed for water storage, stands at a height of 50 feet and spans 3000 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, the dam has a normal storage level of 20 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 24.5 acres.
Although the dam is uncontrolled, it has passed inspections and is regularly monitored for safety. The last inspection took place in January 2018, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the dam has not been rated for its condition, it is considered to be in a satisfactory state. The risk management measures for the dam are not specified, but the structure is overseen by the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Overall, the Klondyke Mine Davis Place Impound Dam serves as a crucial water resource in Wilkinson County, Georgia, contributing to the region's water storage capacity. With its strategic location and design, the dam plays a vital role in managing water levels and mitigating the risk of flooding in the area. Its low hazard potential coupled with moderate risk assessment highlights the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this essential infrastructure.

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.
