Summary

Constructed in 1988 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and has a length of 2355 feet. With a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet and a surface area of 15 acres, this structure plays a crucial role in providing habitat for various wildlife species in the area.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Morrison Brothers No.2 serves as a valuable resource for the local ecosystem and contributes to the overall health of the surrounding environment. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has a maximum discharge of 55 cubic feet per second, ensuring proper water management and flood control measures are in place. While the condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated", the risk assessment for this structure is moderate, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance.

Located in the Demopolis city area, Morrison Brothers No.2 is part of the Mobile District and falls under Congressional District 07 in Alabama, represented by Terri A. Sewell. With its primary purpose of serving as a fish and wildlife pond, this structure showcases the collaborative efforts of various agencies in promoting environmental conservation and sustainable water resource management practices. As a valuable asset in the region, Morrison Brothers No.2 stands as a testament to the importance of preserving and protecting our natural resources for future generations to enjoy.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
