Summary
Standing at a structural height of 40 feet with a hydraulic height of 37 feet, this dam holds a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-COOSA River, this dam is a vital part of the local ecosystem and provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
Despite its significant hazard potential, Livingston Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, with no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement taking place. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is crucial for the owners to ensure regular maintenance and upkeep to prevent any potential risks or hazards.
With a maximum discharge of 122 cubic feet per second, Livingston Lake Dam plays a key role in managing water resources in the area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and support initiatives that promote sustainable water management practices and the preservation of vital aquatic ecosystems like the TR-COOSA River.

Dam Data Reference
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.
