Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #4 dam
Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #4
Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #4, also known as Owens Illinois Wastewater Pond #4, is a private earth dam located in Clyattville, Georgia. The dam is situated on Jumping Gully Creek and is owned by Owens Illinois. Although the dam is not state regulated, it is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality.
This 10.5-foot high dam has a hydraulic height of 7 feet and a length of 730 feet, providing storage for 123 acre-feet of water. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," and it is classified as a buttress-type earth dam. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 3.
The last inspection of Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #4 was conducted in April 2014, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its status and ensure that necessary risk management measures are in place to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam.
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 Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #4
Where does the data for Valdosta Mill Wastewater Pond Dam #4 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.
