Summary
This privately owned earth dam was completed in 1968 and stands at a structural height of 26 feet with a hydraulic height of 23 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and primarily serves purposes such as recreation, in addition to its other functions.
Situated on the TR-SOFKAHATCHEE CREEK, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential and current condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated," the dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing a safe environment for recreational activities. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently not rated, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and assessment to ensure the safety and efficiency of this important water resource infrastructure.
Nolan Davis Lake Dam Number One represents a key component of water resource infrastructure in the region, offering both practical benefits and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. As a privately owned structure, its maintenance and upkeep are essential to ensure its continued functionality and safety. With its completion dating back to 1968, ongoing assessments and potential updates may be necessary to address any evolving risks or regulatory requirements, underscoring the importance of proactive management and stewardship of this vital water resource asset.

Dam Data Reference
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.
