Summary

Clair, Alabama, is a privately owned facility situated along TR Kelly Creek and operated for the purpose of fish propagation. The hatchery, completed in 1973, stands at a height of 14 feet with a hydraulic height of 9 feet and a dam length of 900 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 84 acre-feet and a normal storage of 54 acre-feet, the facility serves as a crucial resource for water management in the region.

Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Qsl Fish Hatchery boasts a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite lacking state regulation and inspection, the hatchery plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of the area. With no associated structures or inspections reported, the facility remains a key player in supporting the local aquatic ecosystem and contributing to the conservation efforts in Alabama.

In a Congressional District represented by Mike Rogers (R), the Qsl Fish Hatchery serves as a significant landmark in the region. While it may not have undergone recent assessments or emergency preparedness evaluations, the hatchery's strategic location and operational capacity make it an essential asset for water resource management and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable aquatic ecosystems.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
