Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam on the Pine Log Branch serves primarily for recreation, providing a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 374 cubic feet per second. With a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, the dam spans 660 feet in length, offering a serene escape for water and climate enthusiasts alike.
Owned privately and not subject to state regulation or jurisdiction, Carl Wingard dam presents a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite its unassuming status, the dam plays a crucial role in the local community, offering a safe and enjoyable environment for recreational activities. With Martha Roby (R) as the Congressional Representative for the area, the dam stands as a point of interest in Congressional District 02, Alabama.
For those interested in water resources and climate, Carl Wingard dam serves as a hidden gem in the landscape of Alabama. While not towering in height or volume, its significance lies in its contribution to recreational opportunities and its subtle impact on the surrounding environment. As water enthusiasts explore the Pine Log Branch and the peaceful city of Shreve, they will find solace in the simple beauty and functionality of this unassuming yet essential piece of water infrastructure.

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.
