Summary
This earth dam structure stands at a height of 12 feet and has a length of 1600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is to support fish and wildlife activities in the area, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
The pond is situated on TR-Stephens Creek, within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 270 cubic feet per second, the dam is equipped to manage water flow effectively. Despite not being state regulated, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure its safety and functionality for the local ecosystem.
Climate and water resource enthusiasts will appreciate the unique design and purpose of Taylor Pond #2, as well as the potential for enhancing fish and wildlife habitats in the region. With its tranquil location in DEMOPOLIS, this dam serves as a vital resource for conservation efforts and environmental protection in Alabama. Further monitoring and assessment of its condition will be crucial to sustain its long-term benefits for both the community and the surrounding ecosystem.

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.
