Summary
Built in 1948, its primary purpose is for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. The dam is classified as an earth dam, with a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a structural height of 12 feet. It has a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and serves as a recreational area as well.
The dam is situated on TR Pintlalla Creek, within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential and being in a non-regulated state, Frank Davis plays a crucial role in providing essential services such as fire protection and water storage. Its location in a beautiful natural setting makes it a popular spot for recreational activities, adding to its value as a water resource within the area.
With its historical significance and functional importance, Frank Davis stands as a testament to the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship. As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore its features and purpose, they can appreciate the balance it strikes between practicality and natural beauty in the heart of Alabama.

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.
