Summary
It stands at a hydraulic height of 17 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, with a length of 675 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 177 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 114 acre-feet. Despite being non-federally regulated, the dam's hazard potential is rated as low.
Situated on Judy Creek in Barbour County, Alabama, Easterling Mill Pond Dam is managed by private owners and serves as a recreational spot in addition to its primary purposes. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no available data regarding its inspection frequency or emergency preparedness measures. With a maximum discharge capacity of 60 cubic feet per second, the dam provides essential water resource management for the surrounding area.
Easterling Mill Pond Dam, with its historical significance dating back over a century, contributes to the local ecosystem and provides valuable water resources for the community. While its hazard potential is deemed low, continued monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety for both the environment and residents in the area.

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.
