Summary
Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 24 feet, with a length of 545 feet. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 84 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 72 acre-feet, providing ample water resources for recreational activities.
Despite its low hazard potential, Stallworth Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam, managed by private owners, does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, with no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement in place. The dam's emergency action plan status, as well as risk assessment and management measures, are currently unknown. However, the dam's location in a picturesque setting and its contribution to water resource availability make it an attractive spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking recreational opportunities in Alabama.
Stallworth Dam's infrastructure, along with its surrounding shadow lake, serves as a tranquil retreat for visitors to Thomaston North. The dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management for recreational purposes, offering a glimpse into the collaboration between private ownership and public enjoyment of natural resources. Climate enthusiasts can appreciate the impact of dams like Stallworth on the local ecosystem and water availability, highlighting the delicate balance between human recreation and environmental conservation in a changing climate.

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.
