Summary
Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet and spans 330 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, H Kaul primarily serves the purpose of recreation for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, H Kaul is classified as a low hazard potential structure with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." Although it does not have a state jurisdiction or permitting requirements, this dam is regularly inspected to ensure its safety and functionality. With emergency action plans yet to be prepared, H Kaul remains a picturesque spot for outdoor activities while being mindful of its potential risks and management measures for the surrounding community.
Congressional District 06 in Alabama is represented by Gary J. Palmer (R), who overlooks the jurisdiction where H Kaul is located. This recreational dam provides a serene environment for water enthusiasts to enjoy various outdoor activities, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of monitoring and maintaining such structures for the safety and well-being of the community.

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.
