Summary
Built in 1954, the dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond maintenance. It has a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a structural height of 12 feet, with a length of 630 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 144 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 115 acre-feet.
Situated on TR Miller Creek, Freeman Dam is part of the Mobile District and falls under Congressional District 03 in Alabama, represented by Mike Rogers (R). The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Although the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it meets guidelines for safety and risk management measures. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1050 cubic feet per second, Freeman Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and fire protection in the area.
Even though Freeman Dam does not have a designated inspection frequency or updated emergency contacts, it remains a vital structure for the community. The dam's proximity to the community and its multi-purpose functionality highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring its condition to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources and climate resilience in the region.

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.
