Summary
While the dam's specific dimensions and completion date are not provided, its significant hazard potential and the lack of a condition assessment raise concerns about its safety and maintenance. The dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, and its emergency action plan status is unknown, suggesting potential risks for nearby communities and water resources.
Despite its critical role in providing water supply and recreational opportunities, Wynn and Harrell No 2 Dam lacks important safety assessments and regulatory oversight. Owned privately and situated in Congressional District 07 of Alabama, the dam's condition remains "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. With no information on the presence of an emergency action plan or inundation maps, there is a gap in preparedness for potential dam failures or emergencies that could impact downstream areas.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts monitoring Wynn and Harrell No 2 Dam should be aware of its significant hazard potential and lack of state regulation and inspection. The dam's condition assessment status, emergency action plan, and risk management measures are crucial aspects that need attention to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and water resources. As the dam serves multiple purposes and has an unknown storage capacity, further evaluation and monitoring are essential to mitigate risks and protect the environment and public safety.

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.
