Summary

Built in 1952, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. It stands at a hydraulic height of 16 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, with a length of 1070 feet and a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet.

Situated on the TR Ramar Creek, Vongol No 2 is managed by a private owner and is not regulated by the state of Alabama. Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, the dam has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance activities. With a maximum discharge capacity of 400 cubic feet per second, this structure plays a crucial role in water resource management and environmental conservation efforts within the region.

While Vongol No 2 may not be under federal oversight, its significance in providing essential water resources for fire protection and agricultural purposes cannot be understated. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, ensuring the proper maintenance and functionality of structures like Vongol No 2 becomes increasingly important for the sustainable management of water resources in the area.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
