Summary

This dam serves a crucial purpose for the community, although specific details about its construction and capacity are not provided in the data. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam has a significant hazard potential, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and safety measures.

The dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are marked as "Significant" and "Not Rated," respectively, indicating a need for further evaluation and potential improvements. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for the dam are not disclosed, underscoring the importance of preparedness and risk assessment in the event of a dam failure. With its location within the Mobile District of the USACE and under the jurisdiction of Congressional District 07, Alabama, the dam's operations and safety protocols may benefit from federal oversight and support.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams like Lakeland Farms Dam Number Eleven will find this data intriguing. The significance of proper infrastructure and emergency preparedness for dams, especially those with a notable hazard potential, underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk assessment. As a privately owned structure with unknown specifics regarding its design and capacity, there is a call for increased transparency and regulatory oversight to ensure the safety and protection of surrounding communities and water resources.

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.
