Summary
Situated in the Mobile District, this earth-type dam stands as a significant water resource in the area, with a hazard potential deemed as significant. Despite its importance, the dam has not been rated for its condition, and there is no information available on its height, volume, or completion year.
While the dam does not fall under state regulation or jurisdiction, it serves as a key area for water enthusiasts and climate enthusiasts alike to explore. The dam's location offers a serene environment for recreational activities, providing a space for visitors to appreciate the surrounding natural beauty. With no specific information on modifications or maintenance, the Luby Gore Dam continues to serve as a vital water resource in the region, attracting both locals and tourists seeking outdoor adventures.
For those interested in water resources and climate conservation, the Luby Gore Dam presents a captivating study in the intersection of man-made structures and natural landscapes. With its significant hazard potential and lack of a condition assessment, the dam raises questions about the importance of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure. As enthusiasts explore the area and enjoy its recreational offerings, the dam stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between human intervention and environmental stewardship in managing water resources for future generations.

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.
