Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at 18 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a length of 120 feet. It has a normal storage capacity of 25 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 60 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR Little Chatahospee Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Although White Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it does not have state regulation, inspection, permitting, or enforcement. The dam is primarily used for recreational purposes and does not have associated structures or locks. Despite its lack of recent inspection and assessment dates, White Dam offers a serene location for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the natural beauty of Alabama's waterways.
With its picturesque location and historical significance, White Dam serves as a vital part of the local landscape in Chambers County, Alabama. While it may not have the same regulatory oversight as other dams, its low hazard potential and recreational purpose make it an ideal destination for those looking to connect with nature and enjoy the tranquility of the TR Little Chatahospee Creek. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to advocate for the protection and preservation of our natural resources, White Dam stands as a reminder of the importance of responsible stewardship and environmental conservation.

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.
