Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam was completed in 1984 and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. With a height of 17 feet and a storage capacity of 171 acre-feet, the dam stands as a vital structure for water management in the area.
Situated on TR-Little Claybank Creek, Bill Deloney Pond has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 80 feet, ensuring proper water discharge during high flow events. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its construction and purpose highlight its importance in providing water for irrigation, fire protection, and stock or small fish pond activities.
Owned privately and not regulated by the state, Bill Deloney Pond stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management in Alabama. With its significant storage capacity and efficient design, this pond plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and ensuring water availability for the local community. As a key structure designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Bill Deloney Pond stands as a symbol of responsible water management practices in the region.

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.
