Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen dam
Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen
Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen, located in Perry, Alabama, is a private earth dam completed in 1977 with a primary purpose of "Other." This dam, standing at a structural height of 23 feet and a hydraulic height of 20 feet, serves to store water with a capacity of 104 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-BOGUE CHITTO river or stream, this dam plays a critical role in managing water resources in the area.
With a significant hazard potential, the condition of Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen is currently rated as "Not Rated." Despite not being regulated by the state or requiring inspections, the dam's importance in flood control and water storage cannot be understated. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the integrity and effectiveness of dams like this one become increasingly vital for ensuring the sustainability of water supplies for both agricultural and residential use in the region.
While lacking detailed data on some aspects such as spillway type and outlet gates, the presence of this dam underscores the importance of private infrastructure in water resource management. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of dams like Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen is crucial for addressing the challenges posed by changing climate patterns and ensuring the resilience of water systems in the face of increasing variability and extreme weather events.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen
Where does the data for Lakeland Farms Dam Number Nineteen come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
