Summary
McClure #1 is a private Fish and Wildlife Pond designed by the USDA NRCS. Completed in 1990, this Earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet, with a length of 1875 feet, and a storage capacity of 68.9 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of serving as a habitat for fish and wildlife, J. McClure #1 also contributes to flood control and water conservation efforts in the area.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 10 feet wide, allows for a maximum discharge of 25 cubic feet per second. The dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", with the last inspection conducted in January 1991. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it continues to play a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Congressional District 07 in Alabama, represented by Terri A. Sewell (D), oversees J. McClure #1, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District. With a surface area of 9.4 acres and a drainage area of 0.03 square miles, this dam serves as a vital component of the local ecosystem. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find J. McClure #1 to be a fascinating case study in sustainable water management and wildlife conservation efforts.

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.
