Summary
1 Dam, is a private-owned recreational water resource located in Screven, Georgia. Built in 1960 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 11 feet and spans a length of 645 feet, creating a surface area of 74 acres and a drainage area of 1370 acres. With a normal storage capacity of 250 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 394 acre-feet, the dam serves as a haven for wildlife and a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam's hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. With its picturesque setting and ample recreational opportunities, including fishing and birdwatching, Wildlife Lily Pad Pond stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of water resources and wildlife conservation in Georgia.
The dam's location in the Charleston District and its close proximity to a variety of habitats make it a prime destination for climate and water resource enthusiasts.

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.
