Summary
Built in 1983 by the USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam stands at 29 feet high and spans 525 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 508 acre-feet, the dam helps regulate the flow of LICKLOG CREEK, providing essential habitat for local flora and fauna.
Despite its significant hazard potential, Malcolm Lewis Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet, ensuring proper water discharge during periods of high flow. With a moderate risk level according to the provided data, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
While the dam lacks certain regulatory certifications and inspections, its presence remains essential for maintaining the ecological balance in the area. As a private-owned structure, Malcolm Lewis Dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between government agencies and local stakeholders in preserving water resources and wildlife habitats in Alabama.

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.
