Summary
Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at 18 feet in structural height and has a hydraulic height of 17 feet. With a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 36 cubic feet per second, the dam impounds water from the TR-Old Town Creek, creating a serene pond for recreational activities.
Despite its low hazard potential, Hoff Pond Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, has not undergone recent inspections and does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place. While the dam's risk assessment and management measures are currently unspecified, its location in a picturesque setting and its recreational offerings make it an attractive destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a tranquil escape.
Though Hoff Pond Dam may lack recent inspection data and comprehensive risk management measures, its scenic location in Chunnennuggee, Alabama, and recreational amenities make it a compelling destination for outdoor enthusiasts. With its modest storage capacity and low hazard potential, the dam provides a peaceful setting for activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. While improvements in monitoring and emergency preparedness could enhance the dam's safety and resilience, visitors can still enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Hoff Pond and its surrounding natural 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.
