Summary
Built in 1966 by the US Army, this Earth-type dam stands at 13 feet high and stretches 1100 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 133 acre-feet and a surface area of 21 acres, Pond 3 serves as a habitat for fish and wildlife, as well as a popular spot for recreational activities.
Managed and maintained by the US Army, Pond 3 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the pond is regularly inspected every 4 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. While no condition assessment is currently available, the emergency action plan for Pond 3 was last revised in 2010, meeting established guidelines for risk management and preparedness.
Located near the Goshen Swamp Creek, Pond 3 offers a tranquil environment for visitors to enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and birdwatching. With its picturesque surroundings and diverse wildlife, this water resource serves as a valuable asset for both the community and the ecosystem in Liberty County, Georgia.

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.
