Summary

Built in 1953, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 15 feet and has a hydraulic height of 13 feet. With a purpose primarily for recreation, Flowers offers a maximum storage capacity of 45 acre-feet and a normal storage of 33 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR Pintlalla Creek, in close proximity to the city of Pintlalla, and is managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite not being regulated by the state, Flowers has a significant hazard potential and is considered to be in "Not Rated" condition. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it has not been inspected recently. The surrounding area poses a risk of inundation, and there is no available risk assessment or management measures reported for the site. The dam holds a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities in the region and contributes to the overall water resource management of the area. Water and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the unique features and potential challenges associated with Flowers, making it a noteworthy structure to study and monitor in the realm of water resource management.

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.
