Summary
This Earth-type dam on TR-Duck Creek, with a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, serves as a low hazard potential structure with a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. The dam spans 430 feet in length and can discharge a maximum of 340 cubic feet per second.
Despite not being regulated by the state, Alvin Mixon provides a vital recreational resource for the local community in Commerce, Alabama. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. With its low hazard potential, the dam poses minimal risk, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or in place for the structure.
Although lacking certain regulatory oversight, Alvin Mixon continues to offer a safe and enjoyable recreational experience for visitors. As a significant part of the local landscape, this dam on TR-Duck Creek stands as a testament to both the historical significance and the enduring importance of water resources in Alabama.

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.
