Summary
Built in 1984 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at 25 feet high and stretches 375 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.39 square miles, this pond serves as a habitat for various wildlife species while also offering recreational opportunities.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Ronald Grantham Pond has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite not being regularly inspected or rated for its condition, it continues to provide a valuable resource for the local community. Situated along Line Creek in the city of Geneva, this pond adds to the ecological diversity of the area and contributes to water conservation efforts in the region.
Congressional District 02 in Alabama, represented by Martha Roby, oversees this water resource that plays a crucial role in supporting fish and wildlife populations. With its uncontrolled spillway and capacity to handle a maximum discharge of 360 cubic feet per second, Ronald Grantham Pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of a changing climate.

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.
