Summary

C. I. Lake, located in Jefferson County, Alabama, is a privately owned water resource with a primary purpose of water supply. The dam, which is of Earth type, was completed in 1910 and has a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 10 feet. The lake has a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, serving as a vital water source for the surrounding area.

The low hazard potential of T. C. I. Lake, coupled with its not rated condition assessment, reflects its overall stable and secure infrastructure. While the dam has not been inspected recently, the emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently unknown. The lake's association with the TR-Opossum Creek and the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers further solidifies its significance within the region's water management system.

Despite its age, T. C. I. Lake continues to play a crucial role in water supply for the city of Woodward and its surroundings. As a key part of the local water infrastructure, the lake's maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure its long-term viability and resilience in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource demands.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
