Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, State Cattle Ranch #15 poses a moderate risk due to its location near TR-GERMAN CK. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 74 feet wide, can handle a maximum discharge of 300 cubic feet per second. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its last inspection was conducted in September 1986. While no emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps have been prepared for this structure, it remains an important resource for wildlife conservation in the area.
State Cattle Ranch #15 offers a vital ecosystem for fish and wildlife in the region, serving as a habitat for various species. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the water resources and climate balance in the area. Its strategic location in Demopolis, Alabama, highlights the importance of conservation efforts for sustainability and environmental protection.
