Summary
The dam primarily serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along the TR-Picks Creek, with a storage capacity of 286 acre-feet and a surface area of 25 acres. Its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a vital resource for the region's water management and conservation efforts.
With a height of 20 feet and a length of 1043 feet, Bubba Drury #2 plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing habitat for various wildlife species. Despite being uncontrolled, its spillway width of 200 feet ensures efficient water discharge in case of overflow events. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, but its design and purpose underscore its importance in maintaining ecological balance and preserving the local environment.
Owned by a private entity, Bubba Drury #2 stands as a testament to collaborative efforts between government agencies like the USDA NRCS and local stakeholders in enhancing fish and wildlife habitats. As climate change intensifies, structures like Bubba Drury #2 become even more critical in safeguarding water resources and promoting sustainable practices for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts.

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.
