Summary
The Earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 550 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 112 acre-feet. The pond serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and as a habitat for small fish, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource management in the region.
Located in Crenshaw County, Halls Pond is regulated by the state of Alabama and has a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite not being under federal jurisdiction, the pond plays a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for the community. With a spillway width of 52 feet and a maximum discharge of 700 cubic feet per second, the pond is well-equipped to handle potential flooding events and contribute to the overall resilience of the area's water infrastructure.
Overall, Halls Pond stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and government agencies in promoting water conservation and wildlife preservation. By maintaining a balanced approach to dam construction and management, the pond serves as a valuable resource for both humans and the environment, highlighting the interconnectedness of water resources and climate resilience 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.
