2, located in Greene, Alabama, is a privately owned Earth dam constructed in 1985 by the USDA NRCS. This dam serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along Dollarhide Creek, with a height of 14.6 feet and a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. Despite being a low hazard potential structure, it has a moderate risk assessment due to its condition not being rated and lack of emergency preparedness measures.
The dam's primary purpose is to provide habitat for fish and wildlife, with a spillway width of 60 feet for uncontrolled discharge during high flow events. With a surface area of 12.6 acres and a drainage area of 0.1 square miles, Paul No. 2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. Although it currently does not meet inspection guidelines, there is potential for improvement in risk management measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this structure for the future.
Furthermore, being under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District and represented by Congressional District 07, Alabama, it is essential for stakeholders to collaborate in maintaining and monitoring the condition of Paul No. 2. As climate change impacts water resources, understanding the role of structures like this in mitigating risks and supporting ecological balance is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts looking to promote sustainable practices in water management.
