Summary
Built in 1959, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond, as well as recreational activities. With a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, this dam spans a length of 720 feet and has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet.
Situated on TR Line Creek, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential and a lack of state regulation, Gerald Wallace No 2 plays a crucial role in providing water resources for the local community. With its normal storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, this dam contributes to the conservation and management of water resources in the region.
Although not currently rated for its condition assessment, Gerald Wallace No 2 remains a vital structure for maintaining water supply and supporting recreational activities in the area. With its historical significance dating back to 1959, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in 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.
