Summary
Built in 1964, this earth-type dam serves the primary purpose of recreation along the Wedowee Creek. With a hydraulic height of 27 feet and a structural height of 32 feet, Moore boasts a capacity of 150 acre-feet for storage, making it an ideal spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor activities in the area.
Situated in Congressional District 03 of Alabama, Moore Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition assessment. Despite not being regulated by the state or having a state permit, this dam offers a picturesque setting for recreational activities, with a maximum discharge of 1090 cubic feet per second. While it lacks certain features like spillways or locks, Moore's historical significance and serene surroundings make it a must-visit destination for those interested in water resource management and climate conservation efforts in the region.
Although Moore may not have undergone recent inspections or have an emergency action plan in place, its tranquil location and the opportunities it provides for outdoor recreation make it a valuable asset for the community. With its close proximity to nature and the Wedowee Creek, Moore Dam stands as a reminder of the importance of preserving water resources and maintaining a balance between environmental conservation and recreational enjoyment. For water resource and climate enthusiasts looking to explore the intersection of human-made structures and natural ecosystems, Moore offers a unique and engaging experience in the heart of Alabama's scenic landscape.

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.
