Summary
Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this earthen dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet. The dam spans 800 feet in length and serves the primary purpose of providing habitat for fish and wildlife in the area.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its current condition. The last inspection took place in October 1979, and there have been no reported modifications or updates since then. The spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 80 feet, and the maximum discharge capacity is 190 cubic feet per second. Overall, the risk assessment for this dam is considered moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Port Royal Land & Timber CO #1 offers an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure in rural Alabama. With its focus on enhancing fish and wildlife habitats, this dam serves as a vital resource for the local ecosystem. However, the lack of recent inspections and condition assessments raises questions about the long-term sustainability and safety of this structure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the management and maintenance of dams like Port Royal Land & Timber CO #1 becomes increasingly important for ensuring environmental resilience and public safety in the face of evolving 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.
