Summary

Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 25 feet and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet. Its primary purposes include fire protection, stock, and serving as a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet, C E Neal also offers recreational opportunities for enthusiasts in the Montgomery County area.

Despite its low hazard potential, C E Neal has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance, raising questions about its long-term safety and structural integrity. With a maximum discharge capacity of 646 cubic feet per second, any potential issues with C E Neal could have significant implications for the surrounding area and its water resources.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and ensuring the safety of structures like C E Neal is crucial for preserving the local environment and community well-being. With its location in a congressional district represented by Martha Roby, efforts to assess and address any potential risks associated with C E Neal can help protect the ecosystem and water sources in Pisgah and the wider Alabama region.

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.
