Summary

1 is a private earth dam located in Cleburne, Alabama, near the city of CHULAFINNEE. Built in 1950, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy outdoor activities. The dam has a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 14 feet, with a length of 300 feet and a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, making it a significant water resource in the area.

Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, White No. 1 features a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam has a maximum discharge of 600 cubic feet per second and a normal storage capacity of 24 acre-feet. With its serene location along TR CHULAFINNEE CR, White No. 1 offers a peaceful retreat for both locals and visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature and water resources in Alabama.

While White No. 1 may not have a high risk potential, its importance as a recreational water source cannot be understated. With its historical significance as a dam constructed in the mid-20th century, this earth dam continues to provide both aesthetic value and practical benefits to the community. As a vital part of the water infrastructure in Cleburne County, Alabama, White No. 1 stands as a testament to the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship in managing water resources for the benefit of all.

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.
