Summary
Built in 1958, this earth dam stands at 24 feet high with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a length of 430 feet. It serves the primary purpose of recreation and has a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 336 cubic feet per second.
Situated on the TR Conecuh River in Crenshaw County, Bailey poses a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. While it is not regulated by the state, inspected, or permitted, it continues to be a popular spot for outdoor activities. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently unspecified, reflecting the need for further evaluation and preparedness in case of emergencies.
Managed by a private owner, Bailey's scenic location and historical significance make it a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Its presence on the river contributes to the local ecosystem and offers opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. As part of the Mobile District in Alabama, Bailey stands as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring man-made structures for the benefit of both people and the environment.

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.
