Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 725 feet. With a storage capacity of 137 acre-feet, it primarily serves the purpose of providing habitat for fish and wildlife in the area.
Situated on TR Williams Creek in the Mobile District, Maytag No 2 has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not rated condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 150 feet, and a drainage area of 0.15 square miles. While it has not been inspected recently, the risk assessment for this structure is moderate (3), indicating a certain level of risk that needs to be managed effectively.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Maytag No 2 offers an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam contributing to the local ecosystem and water management efforts in Alabama. With its unique design and purpose, this structure serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water infrastructure for supporting biodiversity and mitigating risks associated with water-related hazards.

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.
