Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams dam
Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams
Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams, located in Lock Number 6 on the TR-BLACK WARRIOR RIVER in Greene, Alabama, are privately owned structures primarily used for recreational purposes. These Earth dams, completed in 1960, stand at a structural height of 11 feet with a hydraulic height of 9 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. The dams cover a length of 3000 feet and have a low hazard potential, making them a safe and enjoyable destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams have not been rated in terms of condition assessment but have not undergone any recent modifications. The dams do not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, further highlighting their private ownership and recreational focus. Despite lacking in-depth data on inspection frequency and emergency preparedness, these dams offer a tranquil retreat along the Black Warrior River and stand as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing water resources for leisure activities.
Congressional District 07, Alabama, represented by Terri A. Sewell, oversees the operation of Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams, providing a serene escape for visitors seeking outdoor adventure. With a normal storage capacity of 83 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 90 cubic feet per second, these dams offer a balance of function and leisure. While lacking detailed risk assessments and emergency response plans, the dams present a unique opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore the intersection of human engineering and natural beauty in the heart of Alabama's countryside.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams
Where does the data for Dollarhide Hunting Club Dams come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
