Gray is a privately owned dam located in Calhoun, Alabama, along the TR TALLASSEEHATCHEE CREEK.
Built in 1938, this gravity dam serves primarily for recreational purposes with a height of 20 feet and a length of 150 feet. It has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 450 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Gray has been deemed to have a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam has not undergone any recent inspections or maintenance activities. While it meets recreational needs, the lack of updated emergency action plans and risk assessments may pose potential safety concerns for the surrounding area.
With its picturesque location in a Congressional District of Alabama, Gray serves as a valuable resource for water recreation enthusiasts. However, there is a need for increased oversight and maintenance to ensure the safety and continued functionality of the dam in the face of changing climate conditions and potential risks.
