Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth dam with a hydraulic height of 17 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, has a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. With a length of 300 feet, the dam is managed by a private owner and falls under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being rated as low hazard potential and not yet assessed for condition, McClean Lake Dam stands as an essential structure for water resource management and climate enthusiasts in the region. The dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR-COWIKEE CREEK, providing recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike. While the dam has not seen recent inspection or maintenance activities, its significance in the area's water resource infrastructure cannot be understated.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, McClean Lake Dam presents a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of human-made structures and natural ecosystems. With its location in the Bullock County of Alabama and proximity to the Congressional District 02, the dam's role in managing water levels and promoting outdoor recreation makes it a noteworthy site for further study and appreciation. As efforts to assess and maintain the dam continue, its impact on the local environment and community resilience will remain a topic of interest for those passionate about water resource management and climate adaptation.

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.
