Robinson Pasture Pond Dam dam
Robinson Pasture Pond Dam
Robinson Pasture Pond Dam, located in Montgomery, Georgia, is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for recreation. Standing at a height of 15 feet and stretching 700 feet in length, this dam boasts a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres. Despite being unlisted and not regularly inspected by state agencies, its hazard potential is considered low, with a moderate risk assessment rating.
With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Robinson Pasture Pond Dam is designed with buttress core types on an unknown foundation. Although its condition assessment is not rated, the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified. While the dam has not undergone any modifications or inspections recently, its moderate risk level indicates a need for ongoing monitoring and potential improvements to ensure the safety of its surrounding environment and water resources.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in exploring the intersection of dam infrastructure and recreational use, Robinson Pasture Pond Dam presents an intriguing case study. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's moderate risk assessment underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and risk management to mitigate potential threats to its structural integrity and surrounding ecosystem. As efforts to protect and sustain water resources continue to evolve, this privately owned dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges and responsibilities associated with managing and maintaining critical infrastructure in a changing climate.

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 Robinson Pasture Pond Dam
Where does the data for Robinson Pasture Pond Dam 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.
