Summary

Pond B5, located in Greene, Alabama, is a private fish and wildlife pond designed by the USDA NRCS in 1991. With a dam height of 11.8 feet and a storage capacity of 186 acre-feet, this pond covers a surface area of 17.4 acres and serves as a habitat for various aquatic species. The dam, made of earth, has a spillway width of 45 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 350 cubic feet per second, ensuring proper water management and flood control for the surrounding area.

Despite being classified as low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Paul Bryant Jr. Pond B5 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The pond does not fall under state jurisdiction and is not regulated or inspected by state agencies, making it primarily managed by the private owner. As a significant water resource in the area, this pond plays a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for fishing and wildlife observation. With its strategic location near TR-BOVELL BRANCH, this pond contributes to the conservation efforts in Alabama, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices for climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
