Summary
Built in 1950, this dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and recreation. With a hydraulic height of 18 feet and a structural height of 21 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 326 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 243 acre-feet. The dam is associated with the TR Ramar Creek and is part of the Congressional District 02 of Alabama, represented by Martha Roby.
This low hazard potential dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and information on emergency action plans and risk management measures is not available. Despite being unregulated by the state and federal agencies, Davis No 2 plays a crucial role in water resource management and provides essential services to the local community. As a site for recreational activities and a source of water for fire protection and stock, this dam highlights the intersection of infrastructure development and environmental stewardship in ensuring water security in the region.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Davis No 2 an intriguing case study in small-scale dam construction and management. Its historical significance, multiple purposes, and location in a rural setting make it an interesting subject for further research on the impact of such dams on local ecosystems and water availability. As the state and federal agencies do not regulate this dam, its condition and maintenance pose challenges for long-term sustainability, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring and management strategies to ensure its continued functionality and safety in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
