Summary

This buttress dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 272 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 42 acre-feet. With a surface area of 30 acres, this dam has a high hazard potential but is currently assessed as satisfactory in condition.

Managed by the GA-SAFE DAMS PROGRAM, Stewart Farm Pond Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of Georgia. Although there are no associated structures or specific purposes listed for this dam, it serves as a vital resource for water storage in the region. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not undergone any modifications or emergency action planning as of the last inspection in November 2016.

Located within the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Stewart Farm Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Situated in a picturesque setting in Gordon, Georgia, this dam is a key component of the local ecosystem and contributes to the overall climate resilience of the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Stewart Farm Pond Dam to be a fascinating structure with important implications for both environmental protection and public safety.

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. 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

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, 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.
