Summary
Built in 1985 with a height of 25 feet and a length of 395 feet, this Earth-type dam serves multiple purposes including recreation and wildlife habitat. Managed by the USDA NRCS, the dam has a storage capacity of 265 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 20 acres.
Despite being classified as low-hazard potential and not yet rated for its condition, John Deming Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 59 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 238 cubic feet per second. The surrounding drainage area is 0.21 square miles, ensuring proper water management for the local ecosystem.
With its strategic location in Congressional District 02 of Alabama, John Deming Dam represents a key feature in the landscape, providing essential support for fish and wildlife populations while offering recreational opportunities for visitors. As climate enthusiasts, understanding and monitoring the condition of such water structures is vital for ensuring the sustainability of our natural resources in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
