Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 15 feet and a hydraulic height of 13.5 feet, provides a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet, supporting the water needs of the surrounding area. The dam has a spillway type of "Uncontrolled" and is considered to have a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Located in Sylvester, Georgia, this private dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. With a surface area of 10 acres and a normal storage capacity of 34 acre-feet, the David Bryan Irrigation Pond Dam has been inspected in August 2016 and is subject to regular inspections every five years. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam continues to serve its purpose effectively, contributing to the irrigation needs of the local agriculture industry.
As a part of the Jacksonville District, the dam serves as a key water management infrastructure in the area, benefiting from the expertise of the USDA/NRCS in its design. With its associated structures and uncontrolled outlet gates, the David Bryan Irrigation Pond Dam stands as a testament to effective water resource planning and management in Georgia, ensuring a reliable water supply for agricultural activities 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.
