Summary
This privately-owned earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 375 feet across TR Cripple Creek. The primary purpose of the dam is to create a fish and wildlife pond, with additional purposes including fire protection, stock, recreation, and small fish pond.
With a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.55 square miles, Mallory Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 70 feet wide, can handle a maximum discharge of 931 cubic feet per second. The risk assessment for this dam is moderate, and it falls under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Overall, Mallory Lake Dam serves as an important resource for the local ecosystem, providing habitat for fish and wildlife while offering recreational opportunities for visitors. Its design and construction by the NRCS reflect a commitment to sustainable water management practices, ensuring the safety and functionality of the dam for years to come. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will appreciate the role that Mallory Lake Dam plays in supporting biodiversity and water conservation efforts in the region.

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.
