Summary
Constructed in 1949, this private dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a hydraulic height of 37 feet. With a storage capacity of 498 acre-feet, the lake primarily caters to water supply needs, making it an essential resource for the community of TOADVINE.
Despite its low hazard potential, Concord Mines Lake has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspections or been assessed for its emergency action plan readiness. Nevertheless, the lake remains a key water resource in the region, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1830 cubic feet per second. Its association with TR-LICK CREEK highlights its importance in the local watershed management.
Concord Mines Lake is an integral component of the water infrastructure in Alabama, providing a reliable source of water for the community. As climate change impacts water resources, it is crucial to ensure the safety and sustainability of dams like Concord Mines Lake. Continued monitoring and assessment will be essential in maintaining the integrity of this important water supply structure.

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.
