Summary
Completed in 1980, this Earth-type dam measures a significant 24 feet in height and stretches to 500 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 237 acre-feet and a low hazard potential, the dam plays a crucial role in managing the waters of the TR-Conecuh River.
Managed by private owners, the Anthony Dam serves as a valuable resource in the region, offering a safe haven for wildlife and a picturesque recreational spot for visitors. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's structural integrity and risk management measures are closely monitored to ensure the safety of surrounding communities. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's importance in water resource management and conservation efforts cannot be understated, making it a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.
As part of the Mobile District, the Anthony Dam's impact extends beyond its physical boundaries, contributing to the overall ecological balance of the area. With Martha Roby (R) as the Congressional Representative overseeing the dam's operations, the collaboration between federal and private entities underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of climate change challenges. The Anthony Dam stands as a symbol of resilience and cooperation in the effort to safeguard water resources for current and future generations.

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.
