Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at 20 feet high with a hydraulic height of 19 feet, offering a maximum storage capacity of 137 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 130 acre-feet. The lake spans 775 feet in length and is fed by the TR Blue Creek, creating a serene oasis for residents and visitors alike.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Bradleton Lake has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite not being regulated by the state, the lake remains a popular destination for fishing, boating, and other water activities. With its picturesque surroundings and ample storage capacity, Bradleton Lake serves as a valuable resource for the local community and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solace in nature.
Although lacking specific inspection and emergency preparedness details, Bradleton Lake continues to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for recreation. The lake's proximity to Congressional District 02 in Alabama, represented by Martha Roby, underscores its significance as a beloved water resource in the region. As climate change impacts water availability, Bradleton Lake stands as a testament to the importance of preserving and enjoying our natural waterways for future generations to cherish and appreciate.

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.
