Summary
1 is a private Fish and Wildlife Pond designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1989. This Earth dam structure stands at 14.3 feet tall with a length of 967 feet, offering a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet and a surface area of 9.1 acres. The dam serves a crucial role in water resource management, with a primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife habitats in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Marc Mcclellan No. 1 plays a significant role in the local ecosystem by providing a safe haven for aquatic life. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway, ensuring proper water flow management during periods of excess rainfall. The structure has not been inspected since July 1989, but its condition is deemed as "Not Rated," indicating the need for further assessment to ensure its long-term functionality.
With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, Marc Mcclellan No. 1 stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management practices in Alabama. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like this play a crucial role in preserving natural habitats and promoting biodiversity. By maintaining and monitoring dams like Marc Mcclellan No. 1, stakeholders can ensure the resilience of freshwater ecosystems in the face of shifting 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.
