Summary

With a dam height of 14 feet and a length of 1300 feet, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 159 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres. The primary purpose of Kilgore #7 is to enhance the habitat for fish and wildlife in the area, making it a valuable resource for conservation enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Kilgore #7 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 45 feet, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 420 cubic feet per second. While the condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," the dam remains an important ecological asset in Greene County, Alabama, supporting biodiversity and providing recreational opportunities for local residents.

Although Kilgore #7 has not been inspected since November 1990, its strategic location along the TR-BRUSH CK. stream ensures its significance in flood control and water resource management. With its serene surroundings and critical role in supporting wildlife, Kilgore #7 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable infrastructure development and conservation efforts in protecting our natural environment.

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.
