Summary
Built in 1981 by the USDA NRCS, this fish and wildlife pond stands at a height of 12 feet with a length of 2,100 feet. With a storage capacity of 97 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.02 square miles, the dam serves as a crucial habitat for various aquatic species in the TR-Stephens Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Taylor Pond #4 has not been rated for its condition assessment. With an uncontrolled spillway type and a spillway width of 60 feet, the dam poses minimal risk to surrounding areas. While it has not been inspected recently, the pond remains a significant feature in the conservation efforts of Greene County, offering valuable ecological benefits to the local environment.
Located in Congressional District 07 of Alabama, Taylor Pond #4 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and government agencies in promoting sustainable water resource management. With a focus on fish and wildlife conservation, this dam serves as a valuable asset in maintaining the ecological balance of the region, highlighting the importance of responsible stewardship of water resources in the face of climate change challenges.

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.
