Summary
The farm's primary purpose is to serve as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with additional functions for irrigation. Built in 1979 by the USDA NRCS, the earth-type dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans a length of 550 feet along the TR-SEPULGA RIVER. With a storage capacity of 146 acre-feet, the dam plays a vital role in managing water resources for both wildlife and agricultural purposes in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, B&B Farms has a moderate risk assessment score of 3, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 92 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 1350 cubic feet per second. The property falls under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers and is not subject to state regulation or inspection, highlighting the importance of federal oversight in ensuring the safety and functionality of the dam.
Overall, B&B Farms serves as a valuable resource for water management in Conecuh County, offering support for fish and wildlife habitats as well as irrigation needs. With its strategic location along the TR-SEPULGA RIVER and its design by the USDA NRCS, the dam represents a successful collaboration between private ownership and federal agencies to promote sustainable water use and conservation practices in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
