Summary

Completed in 1976, this dam stands at a hydraulic height of 20 feet and has a length of 650 feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 496 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 248 acre-feet.

Situated near the TR-ALABAMA RIVER in MANACK, Alabama, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers and falls within Congressional District 02, represented by Martha Roby (R). With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the Prattville Industrial Board Waste Dam has not been inspected in recent years and lacks emergency action plans and risk management measures. Despite this, the dam continues to serve its intended purpose and stands as a reminder of the importance of proper water resource management in the face of changing climates.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Prattville Industrial Board Waste Dam represents a point of interest in Alabama's infrastructure. As discussions around dam safety and sustainability continue, understanding the status and condition of dams like this one becomes crucial in ensuring the resilience of our water resources in the face of evolving environmental challenges. The data provided offers a glimpse into the history and characteristics of this particular dam, inviting further exploration and consideration of the role dams play in water management and climate adaptation efforts.

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.
