Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam on the TR Oaktasasi Creek stands at a height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet. It has a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 56 acre-feet. Despite its relatively low hazard potential and not being regulated by the state, this dam provides essential recreational opportunities for the local community.
Situated in Congressional District 03 of Alabama, Cobbs, Allen & Hall is managed for recreational purposes and does not have any associated structures or regulatory agency oversight. While the dam is not currently rated for its condition, its low hazard potential suggests it is in stable condition. The dam has not undergone any recent inspections or assessments, and its emergency action plan status is unknown. The dam's spillway type, outlet gates, and associated risk management measures are also not specified in the available data.
With its historical significance dating back to the mid-20th century, Cobbs, Allen & Hall continues to serve as a valuable recreational resource in the region. Its location within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers highlights its importance in providing leisure opportunities for the local community. As climate change impacts water resources, enthusiasts and stakeholders may find interest in monitoring the condition and management of this dam to ensure its continued safe operation and recreational value for years to come.

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.
