Summary

The dam, completed in 1955, stands at a hydraulic height of 27 feet and a structural height of 29 feet, with a length of 575 feet. The primary purpose of Flowers is for recreation, with additional use for water supply. The reservoir has a normal storage capacity of 108 acre-feet and has a low hazard potential.

Situated on the TR-Pintlalla Creek, Flowers offers a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water-based activities. With a maximum discharge of 240 cubic feet per second, the dam provides a source of water supply for the surrounding area. Although not rated for condition assessment, the dam is considered to have a low hazard potential. The dam does not fall under federal regulation and has not been modified since its completion.

For those interested in exploring new water resources in Alabama, Flowers presents an opportunity to engage in recreational activities while appreciating the beauty of the natural landscape. The dam's location, just 1 mile east of Manack, offers easy access for visitors looking to escape into nature.

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.
