Summary
Built in 1956 for recreational purposes, the dam stands at a height of 12 feet with a hydraulic height of 10 feet, stretching 600 feet in length. Despite its primary purpose of recreation, Sehoy is classified as having significant hazard potential and is currently not rated in terms of condition assessment.
The dam has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 43 acre-feet. It is situated in Bullock County, Alabama, within Congressional District 02 and under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Although the dam does not have any associated structures or regulatory agencies, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition and potential risks, given its significant hazard potential.
Sehoy's location and design make it a key feature in the local landscape, providing recreational opportunities while also posing potential risks to the surrounding area. With no recent inspection data available, it is crucial for stakeholders and authorities to prioritize the assessment and maintenance of Sehoy to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
