Randall Mullins Lake Dam dam
Randall Mullins Lake Dam
Randall Mullins Lake Dam, located in Ready Crossing, Alabama, is a privately owned structure with a primary purpose of recreation. Built in 1968, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 12 feet and spans a length of 2800 feet along TR-Limestone Creek. With a maximum storage capacity of 96 acre-feet, the dam also serves as a low hazard potential structure with a condition assessment of "Not Rated".
Despite not being regulated by the state or federal agencies, Randall Mullins Lake Dam provides a scenic environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. With a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, the dam offers a tranquil reservoir for visitors to appreciate the natural beauty of Madison County, Alabama. Additionally, the dam's low hazard potential ensures the safety of the surrounding community in case of emergencies.
While lacking in detailed inspection and assessment data, Randall Mullins Lake Dam remains a noteworthy landmark within the Mobile District of Alabama. With its serene location and recreational offerings, the dam presents a unique opportunity for individuals interested in water resources and climate to explore and appreciate the beauty of this region.
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.

About Randall Mullins Lake Dam
Where does the data for Randall Mullins Lake Dam 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.
