Summary
Completed in 1969, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 12 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9 feet. It has a NID storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 36 acre-feet. Fisher spans 900 feet in length and is considered to have a significant hazard potential, although its condition assessment is currently not rated.
Despite being privately owned, Fisher is not regulated by the state of Alabama and does not fall under state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, or enforcement. The dam does not have any associated locks, spillways, or outlet gates, and its last inspection date and assessment of its condition are not available. Emergency preparedness measures, such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, have not been prepared or updated, raising potential concerns for risk management in case of emergencies. Overall, Fisher serves as a recreational structure with historical significance in the area.
In terms of political representation, Fisher falls under Congressional District 07 of Alabama, represented by Terri A. Sewell. With a focus on recreation and a significant hazard potential, Fisher's role in water resource management and climate adaptation in the HOPE HULL area is worth monitoring for enthusiasts interested in the intersection of infrastructure, natural resources, and public safety.

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.
