Summary
Built in 1988 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 1302 feet. With a storage capacity of 188 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres, this pond serves as a habitat for various aquatic species and provides recreational opportunities for visitors.
Despite its low hazard potential, Ioka Farms No.2 has a moderate risk assessment rating due to its location near TR-Washington Creek in the Mobile District. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 51 feet wide, ensures that excess water is safely discharged when needed. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, regular inspections are essential to monitor its structural integrity and address any potential risks that may arise in the future.
As a key feature in the local ecosystem, Ioka Farms No.2 plays a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and promoting conservation efforts in the area. Its strategic design by the USDA NRCS and its primary purpose as a fish and wildlife habitat highlight the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in maintaining the health of this valuable ecological asset.

Dam Data Reference
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.
