Summary
Built in 1961, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a structural height of 13 feet, with a length of 950 feet. It serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock maintenance, and as a recreational spot for small fish ponds. With a storage capacity of 273 acre-feet, Duggar is primarily used for fire protection and water storage needs.
Situated on TR Pintlalla Creek, Duggar has a high hazard potential due to its location and purpose. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam continues to serve its intended functions effectively. The dam has not had any recent inspections, but its emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unknown. With Martha Roby representing Congressional District 02, Alabama in the US House of Representatives, the regulatory oversight for Duggar is limited at the state level, as it is not under state jurisdiction or permitting requirements.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Duggar to be an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management and emergency preparedness. The dam's historical significance, coupled with its multi-purpose usage and high hazard potential, presents a unique opportunity for further exploration and evaluation. Understanding the complexities of maintaining and regulating such structures in rural areas like Beulah Church can shed light on the challenges and opportunities in ensuring water security and safety for local communities.

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.
