Summary
Built in 1994 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond for conservation efforts. With a height of 14 feet and a length of 1000 feet, Bryant 6bb has a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres, making it a vital resource for the local ecosystem.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Bryant 6bb has not been rated for its condition assessment. Its uncontrolled spillway and lack of inspection frequency raise concerns about its long-term safety and maintenance. Additionally, the dam is not regulated by state agencies and does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place, highlighting the need for increased oversight and preparedness measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
As a part of the Mobile District in Alabama, Bryant 6bb plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting wildlife in the region. With its strategic location on TR-BRUSH CREEK, this dam serves as a key contributor to the conservation efforts in the area. However, the lack of regulatory oversight and the absence of a comprehensive risk management plan underscore the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance to safeguard this valuable water resource for future generations.

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.
