Summary

Completed in 1968, this dam serves the primary purpose of recreation, providing a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. With a hydraulic height of 16 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, Jack Lacey No 2 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.

Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Jack Lacey No 2 contributes to the overall water resource management in the area. The dam's maximum discharge capacity is 270 cubic feet per second, ensuring efficient flood control measures. Although the dam is not regulated by the state, it plays a crucial role in supporting recreational activities and maintaining the water quality in the region.

With Congressman Mike Rogers representing the area, Jack Lacey No 2 stands as a vital infrastructure project that enhances the local community's access to water-based recreational opportunities. Its strategic location and design make it a valuable asset for both environmental conservation and public enjoyment, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource management in Alabama's Macon County.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
