About Dunlap Dam

Dunlap Dam, also known as Dunlap Lake, is a privately-owned structure located in Clarke County, Alabama. Constructed in 1971 by the USDA NRCS, the dam serves the primary purpose of creating a fish and wildlife pond, as well as providing recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors. With a dam height of 18 feet and a length of 425 feet, the structure has a storage capacity of 504 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.54 square miles. Situated on the TR-Tombigbee River in the Mobile District, Dunlap Dam has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 824 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, with a readiness level of 3. The condition assessment for the structure is currently listed as not rated, with no inspection frequency specified. While the dam meets guidelines for emergency action planning, details such as the last revision date and inundation maps are not available at this time. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Dunlap Dam presents an interesting case study in private dam ownership and management. With its focus on enhancing fish and wildlife habitats and supporting recreational activities, the structure serves as a valuable asset for the local community. As efforts continue to assess and mitigate potential risks associated with the dam, ongoing monitoring and maintenance will be essential to ensure the safety and sustainability of Dunlap Dam for years to come.
