Summary
McClure #2, located in Sumter, Alabama, is a private Fish and Wildlife Pond dam built in 1990 by the USDA NRCS. With a dam height of 10.7 feet and a length of 1427 feet, the reservoir has a storage capacity of 90.4 acre-feet and serves as a habitat for various aquatic species. The dam is classified as an Earth dam and has a low hazard potential, making it a relatively safe structure in terms of potential risks.
Despite being a privately owned structure, J. McClure #2 is not regulated by the state, and it has not been inspected or assessed for condition since January 1991. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a need for future monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality. With a spillway type of 'Uncontrolled' and a maximum discharge of 25 cubic feet per second, the reservoir is designed to manage excess water flow and prevent flooding in the surrounding area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, J. McClure #2 presents an interesting case study in dam management and risk assessment, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of water infrastructure.

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.
