Summary
Built in 1948, this Earth-type dam on TR RAMAR CREEK serves primarily for recreational purposes. With a hydraulic height of 6 feet and a structural height of 8 feet, Edward Myers has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 20 acre-feet. The dam spans 650 feet in length and has a maximum discharge capacity of 560 cubic feet per second.
Despite its recreational purpose, Edward Myers is classified as having a significant hazard potential. The dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," and it has not undergone recent inspections or evaluations. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place, raising concerns about preparedness in case of a crisis. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, the lack of updated risk assessments and management measures poses a potential risk to the surrounding area.
Located in Congressional District 02 of Alabama, Edward Myers is subject to state jurisdiction but is not regulated or permitted by the state. The dam is not owned or funded by any federal agencies, and its operations, inspections, and enforcement are not overseen by any federal entity. Despite its tranquil setting and recreational purpose, the lack of comprehensive oversight and risk assessment for Edward Myers highlights the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of this water resource in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
