Summary
It is situated in the city of Maxine, near the TR-Coal Creek. This tailings pond is classified as an Earth dam type with a high hazard potential, although its condition assessment is currently not rated. Despite being not regulated by the state, the pond is closely monitored by the US Army Corps of Engineers' Mobile District.
The primary purpose of Maxine Tailings Pond is listed as 'Other', with specific details on its dimensions and capacities not available in the data provided. The pond has a spillway width of zero and a normal storage capacity of zero, indicating that it may not be actively used for water storage. With a high hazard potential, it is crucial for the owners to prioritize regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure, especially in case of emergencies.
As a significant structure in the region, Maxine Tailings Pond poses potential risks that need to be managed effectively. Its location near a waterway and the high hazard potential highlight the importance of comprehensive risk assessment and emergency preparedness. By implementing proper risk management measures and ensuring regulatory compliance, the owners can safeguard the surrounding environment and communities from any potential hazards associated with the pond.

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.
