Summary
The dam, completed in 1955, serves primarily for recreational purposes along the TR Kelly Creek. The dam has a significant hazard potential with a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 22 acre-feet, Schneider offers a serene environment for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Schneider does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation. Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The facility has not been inspected in recent years, highlighting the need for increased monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of Schneider for future generations. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the beauty of this private recreation area while also advocating for improved safety protocols and environmental stewardship practices.

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.
