Summary

With a dam height of 14 feet and a length of 1200 feet, this structure serves as a vital resource for water storage, providing a maximum storage capacity of 104 acre-feet. The dam sits along the TR-BRUSH CK. river or stream, within the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Kilgore No.2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting wildlife in the area. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 40 feet, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 310 cubic feet per second.

The presence of Kilgore No.2 not only contributes to the local ecosystem but also underscores the importance of responsible water resource management in the face of climate challenges. As a key structure designed by the USDA NRCS for conservation purposes, this dam represents a proactive approach to sustainable water use and habitat preservation in Alabama, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship and climate resilience.

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.
