Summary
With a dam height of 13 feet and a length of 210 feet, Huckabee Dam has a storage capacity of 27 acre-feet and serves as a habitat for various aquatic species in the TR-GOOSE CREEK watershed.
Despite being privately owned, Huckabee Dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, and its hazard potential is considered significant. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 48 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 218 cubic feet per second. The risk assessment for the dam is classified as moderate, with measures for risk management yet to be determined.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate may find Huckabee Dam intriguing for its unique design, purpose, and risk profile. With its location in Wilcox County along Goose Creek, this dam provides a valuable habitat for fish and wildlife while also posing challenges in terms of its maintenance and potential impact on the surrounding environment. Further research and monitoring of Huckabee Dam could offer valuable insights into the intersection of water management, ecological conservation, and infrastructure safety.

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.
