Summary
Built in 1960, this Earth dam stands at a structural height of 36 feet and serves as a popular spot for water enthusiasts looking to enjoy various outdoor activities. With a maximum storage capacity of 1800 acre-feet and a normal storage of 1500 acre-feet, this low-hazard dam offers a serene setting for fishing, boating, and other water-based recreational pursuits.
Managed by a private owner, Torberts Lake boasts a hydraulic height of 30 feet and a dam length of 650 feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing assessment and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community. With a lack of inspection data and emergency preparedness measures in place, there is room for improvement in terms of risk management and compliance with regulatory guidelines.
As part of the Mobile District in Alabama, Torberts Lake provides a tranquil escape for visitors while also serving as a vital water resource for the region. With its picturesque surroundings and ample recreational opportunities, this private reservoir is a hidden gem waiting to be explored by water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of nature.

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.
