Summary
H1 is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Greene, Alabama, specifically in the city of Boligee. Constructed in 1989 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 17.7 feet and has a length of 820 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 313 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 24.9 acres, with a drainage area of 0.6 square miles. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway of the dam measures 55 feet wide and can discharge a maximum of 790 cubic feet per second.
This dam on Dry Creek serves as a habitat for various aquatic species and contributes to the conservation of wildlife in the area. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Paul Bryant Jr. H1 is deemed to pose minimal danger to surrounding communities in the event of a breach. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it has not undergone any modifications since its completion, and inspections have not been conducted since August 1989. As such, there is a need for updated assessments and emergency action plans to ensure the continued safety and functionality of this vital water resource.

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.
