Summary
Completed in 1986, this Earth dam stands at a height of 10.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes, including fish and wildlife habitat enhancement, and covers a surface area of 18 acres within a drainage area of 0.09 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Bubba Drury - Carmichael #2 has not been recently inspected or assessed for its condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 50 feet and a maximum discharge of 132 cubic feet per second. Its primary purpose as a fish and wildlife pond highlights the importance of water resource management and conservation efforts in the region, as well as the role of private ownership in supporting environmental initiatives.
With its location in Hale County, Alabama, Bubba Drury - Carmichael #2 stands as a testament to the collaboration between private owners and federal agencies like the Natural Resources Conservation Service in promoting sustainable water resource development. This dam not only contributes to ecological diversity but also underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of such vital infrastructure in the face of changing climate 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.
