Summary
Completed in 1955, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 30 feet and a structural height of 36 feet, with a length of 215 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet and serves as a source of water supply for the community.
Situated on TR-Clear Creek, the dam poses a high hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition. Despite not being regulated or inspected by state agencies, the dam continues to provide recreational opportunities and water supply for the Bethel Church Community in Alabama. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1200 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Although lacking in certain regulatory oversight, Haleyville City Lake Dam remains an important feature of the landscape, offering both recreational benefits and water supply services to the local community. As climate and water resource enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and assess the condition of such structures to ensure their safety and efficacy in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
