Summary

Built in 1953, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet with a hydraulic height of 38 feet, serving primarily for recreational purposes. The dam has a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 85 cubic feet per second, while its hazard potential is rated as low.

Situated along the TR-Little Uchee Creek, Gullatte offers a tranquil escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. Despite being privately owned, the dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, with no state inspection, permitting, or enforcement involved. With its historical significance and scenic surroundings, Gullatte stands as a testament to sustainable water management practices and the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations.

As part of the Mobile District in Alabama, Gullatte represents a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship. While its condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated" and emergency preparedness details are not specified, the dam continues to provide a valuable recreational outlet for local residents and visitors alike. Its role in shaping the landscape and fostering a connection to nature underscores the vital role that water resources play in enhancing our quality of life and promoting environmental awareness in the face of climate change challenges.

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.
