Summary
The earth dam stands at 16 feet in height and spans 1400 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 147 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Bogue Chitto river, within the Mobile District of the USACE.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Lee Jones Dam remains an essential structure for managing water resources in the area. With a primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife habitats, the dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the surrounding environment. Its uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 50 feet, helps regulate water flow and prevent potential flooding downstream.
Though not currently rated for condition assessment, Lee Jones Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the local community in safeguarding water resources and enhancing biodiversity in the region. As a vital component of the water management system in Dallas County, Alabama, the dam continues to support the conservation efforts and climate resilience initiatives in the area.

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.
