Summary
It was designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1990 with a dam height of 14.8 feet and a storage capacity of 74.3 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is to support fish and wildlife habitats, making it a valuable resource for the local ecosystem.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Kenny Larkin #1 has not been inspected or assessed for its condition since 1991. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 25 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 200 cfs. While it has not been regulated or permitted by the state, the dam serves an important role in managing water resources in the area and maintaining the ecological balance of the region.
With a surface area of 10 acres and a drainage area of 0.13 square miles, Kenny Larkin #1 provides essential habitat for various species of fish and wildlife. Its location in Geiger, Alabama, within Congressional District 07, highlights its significance as a private conservation structure supported by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the importance of maintaining and managing such structures to ensure the sustainability of our ecosystems.

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.
