2 is a private dam located in Chulafinnee, Alabama, along the Chulafinnee Creek. Built in 1950 for recreational purposes, this Earth-type dam stands at a hydraulic height of 20 feet and has a length of 305 feet. With a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet, it is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam is considered to have a high hazard potential.
Although the condition assessment of Creighton No. 2 is listed as "Not Rated," the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unclear. With a maximum discharge capacity of 251 cubic feet per second, the dam poses a potential risk to downstream areas in the event of a failure. As of the last update in 2015, important information such as inspection dates, emergency contacts, and risk assessments are not available, raising concerns about the overall safety and management of the dam. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Creighton No. 2 intriguing due to its historical significance and potential environmental impact.
