Summary
Built in 1958, this recreational dam stands at a structural height of 13 feet and has a hydraulic height of 11 feet. With a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet, it primarily serves as a recreational area for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the TR Little Catoma Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential and "Not Rated" condition assessment, Wylie Hill No 1 has not been recently inspected or assessed for its emergency action plan. The dam's purpose is solely for recreation, and it does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency. With a normal storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 613 cubic feet per second, this dam provides a serene backdrop for outdoor activities in the heart of Alabama.
As a part of the Mobile District in Congressional District 02 of Alabama, Wylie Hill No 1 offers a tranquil escape for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. While its primary function may be for recreational use, the dam's historical significance and engineering design make it an intriguing site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.

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.
