Summary
Constructed in 1990 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet with a length of 921 feet, providing a storage capacity of 203 acre-feet. With a surface area of 23 acres and a drainage area of 0.7 square miles, Kilgore #4 serves as a vital habitat for aquatic life in the TR-BRUSH CK. river system.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet, ensuring a maximum discharge of 1100 cubic feet per second during peak flow events. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Kilgore #4 is subject to moderate risk, with a risk assessment rating of 3. While the condition of the dam has not been officially rated, regular inspections are necessary to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the surrounding community. With its primary purpose as a fish and wildlife pond, Kilgore #4 plays a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health in the region.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Kilgore #4 exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management and conservation efforts in Alabama. As climate change continues to impact the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Kilgore #4 are essential to mitigate potential risks and ensure the long-term resilience of the local environment. By preserving and enhancing natural habitats, Kilgore #4 stands as a testament to the interconnectedness of water resources, climate adaptation, and wildlife conservation.

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.
