Summary
The dam has a height of 11.4 feet and a length of 900 feet, with a storage capacity of 131.6 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is to support fish and wildlife activities in the area, with a surface area of 61 acres and a drainage area of 0.14 square miles.
The dam is situated on TR-DRY CREEK and is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 36 feet, and the maximum discharge capacity is 96 cubic feet per second. The condition of the dam is currently not rated, and it has not been inspected since August 1990.
Overall, Tommy Cogle #2 serves as an essential water resource structure for supporting fish and wildlife activities in the region. With its moderate risk assessment and low hazard potential, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the area, contributing to the overall ecosystem health and sustainability of the surrounding environment.

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.
