Summary
Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet and a length of 250 feet. It has a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet, with normal storage levels at 67 acre-feet, making it a low hazard potential structure.
Owned by a private entity, Cullen Thomas is not regulated or inspected by the state, and has not been assessed for its current condition. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its overall condition and there is no emergency action plan in place. The dam does not have an inundation map prepared, and there is limited information available on risk assessment or management measures for this structure.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Cullen Thomas an interesting site to explore for its recreational purposes and unique characteristics as a privately-owned dam in Alabama. With its quaint location in Coosa County, this dam offers a glimpse into the diverse landscape of water infrastructure in the state. While its low hazard potential may not raise immediate concerns, further assessments and updates on safety measures could enhance the overall understanding and management of this recreational facility.

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.
