Summary
Completed in 1954, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and stands at a hydraulic height of 12 feet and a structural height of 14 feet. With a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet, the dam is situated along a tributary of Shades Creek, offering a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy.
Despite its recreational appeal, Serene Lake No 7 Dam holds a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition as of yet. The dam, managed by a private owner, does not fall under state regulation or inspection, making it crucial for the owner to ensure its safety and maintenance. Although there have been no records of modifications or incidents reported, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain undisclosed.
With its picturesque location and potential for outdoor activities, Serene Lake No 7 Dam is a hidden gem in the heart of Alabama. As a private entity, the responsibility for its upkeep and safety falls on its owners. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate should keep an eye on this dam's status and any future developments to ensure the preservation of this recreational oasis.

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.
