Summary
Built in 1970 with a primary purpose of recreation, this privately owned earth dam boasts a height of 23.6 feet and a length of 345 feet. With a storage capacity of 103.3 acre-feet and a surface area of 9.7 acres, the dam serves as a serene backdrop for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Haygood Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment as of yet. While it lacks state regulation and permitting, the dam undergoes regular inspections since its last assessment in June 2018. With uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, the dam's design remains a subject of intrigue with its stone core and unknown foundation type. The surrounding area, including the city of Dyas, benefits from the recreational opportunities facilitated by this picturesque water feature.
The dam's location in the Mobile District and its affiliation with Congressman Austin Scott (R) add to its historical and political relevance. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, Haygood Pond Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable dam management and the preservation of natural habitats. Whether for leisurely activities or environmental conservation efforts, this dam stands as a testament to the delicate balance between human needs and ecological stewardship in the face of a changing climate.

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.
