Summary

The dam has a hydraulic height of 29 feet and a structural height of 31 feet, with a length of 600 feet. It impounds the TR-Boligee Creek, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 166 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 186 acre-feet.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated", with no recent inspection data available. The dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency and has not been modified in recent years. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the dam's condition and ensure that proper risk management measures are in place to prevent any potential hazards.

Overall, C N Drennen Dam Number 4 serves as a recreational feature in Greene County, Alabama, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities. As an enthusiast in water resources and climate, it is crucial to stay informed about the maintenance and safety of dams like this one to protect surrounding communities and ecosystems from potential risks associated with dam failures.

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.
