Summary

2 Dam, located in Montgomery, Alabama, is a private-owned structure primarily used for recreation purposes. This earth-type dam has a significant hazard potential but is currently not rated for its condition. The dam has not been inspected recently, and there is no information available on its height, volume, storage capacity, or other structural details.

Despite the lack of detailed information on the dam's specifications, its location within the Mobile District of the USACE and Congressional District 02 of Alabama indicates its importance in water resource management and climate regulation efforts. The dam is situated in an area represented by Martha Roby (R), providing a local connection to federal oversight and potential funding for maintenance and improvements. While the dam's purpose is primarily for recreation, its significance in the region's water infrastructure and environmental impact cannot be overlooked.

With no state regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement associated with Myers No. 2 Dam, there are potential concerns regarding its safety and maintenance. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is unknown, raising questions about preparedness for potential hazards. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is essential to monitor and advocate for proper management of dams like Myers No. 2 to ensure their safety, functionality, and environmental sustainability in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource needs.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
