Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans a length of 330 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 175 acre-feet. The dam primarily functions as a fish and wildlife pond, while also providing fire protection and stock pond purposes.
Despite its low hazard potential, D C Bevel Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, with a drainage area of 0.38 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 493 cubic feet per second. The dam's spillway, with a width of 50 feet, is uncontrolled, ensuring the safe release of excess water during heavy rainfall events. While it has not been rated for its condition assessment, the dam is continuously monitored to ensure its structural integrity and functionality.
Managed by a private entity, D C Bevel Dam contributes to the overall water management efforts in the area, with a moderate risk level of 3. As part of the Mobile District, the dam is a key component of the local ecosystem, providing essential habitats for various species of fish and wildlife. With its strategic location on TR-Oakmulgee Creek, the dam underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management 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.
