Summary
This earth dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as 'Other', and its condition assessment is currently rated as 'Not Rated'. Despite being a non-federally regulated dam, it holds significant hazard potential, making it a crucial water resource for the surrounding area.
The specific details regarding the dimensions and capacities of the dam are not provided in the data, but its location at 32.61 latitude and -87.37833 longitude underscores its importance within the region. With no designated state regulatory agency overseeing its operations, the responsibility for the maintenance and safety of Lakeland Farms Dam Number Seventeen lies solely with its private owner. This dam's presence contributes to the overall water resource management efforts in the area, highlighting the intersection of environmental conservation and climate resilience.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of structures like Lakeland Farms Dam Number Seventeen sheds light on the intricate network of infrastructure that supports our ecosystems. The data points to the need for continued monitoring and assessment to ensure the safety and functionality of such dams, especially in the face of changing climate patterns. This emphasizes the importance of sustainable water management practices and the role of private owners in upholding the integrity of critical water resources.

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.
