Summary
Built in 1952, this dam on TR Pintlalla Creek stands at a hydraulic height of 16 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, with a total length of 1285 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 88 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 108 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Davis No 5 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have a state regulatory agency overseeing its operation, inspection, or enforcement. With no state jurisdiction or permitting requirements, this dam serves as a vital recreational resource in the area, providing opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities.
While Davis No 5 may not have significant risk factors, it remains an important structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor. As a part of the Mobile District in Alabama, this dam contributes to the local ecosystem and provides valuable recreational opportunities for the surrounding community. With its historical significance dating back to the 1950s, Davis No 5 continues to play a key role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.

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.
