Summary
Constructed in 1998 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with a storage capacity of 88.4 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres. With a height of 10 feet and a length of 3008 feet, Taylor-1 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated in "Not Rated" condition. Despite not being state regulated or permitted, it plays a crucial role in supporting local wildlife and ecosystems.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Taylor-1 has an uncontrolled spillway type and is considered to have a moderate risk level. Located in Congressional District 07, Alabama, this dam has not undergone recent inspections or assessments, but it stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management. Although it is not under the jurisdiction of any state agency, Taylor-1's primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife populations highlights the importance of conservation efforts in the region.
With a focus on enhancing biodiversity and providing habitat for various species, Taylor-1 exemplifies the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience. Despite its relatively small size and low hazard potential, this dam on Stephens Creek in Greene, Alabama, serves as a valuable asset in promoting environmental stewardship and supporting the delicate balance of ecosystems in the area.

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.
