Summary

Solomon Stockyard No.1, located in Boligee, Alabama, is a private fish and wildlife pond designed by the USDA NRCS in 1989. The dam, primarily made of earth, stands at a height of 16.1 feet and has a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. With a surface area of 16.4 acres and a drainage area of 0.11 square miles, the dam serves as a habitat for various wildlife species and contributes to the conservation efforts in the area.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Although it has not been rated for condition assessment, the dam has not been inspected since its completion in 1989. With an uncontrolled spillway type and a maximum discharge capacity of 340 cubic feet per second, it is important for stakeholders to consider the potential risks associated with the structure and implement appropriate risk management measures to ensure its safety and functionality for the surrounding ecosystem.

Located in Greene County, Alabama, C.T. Solomon Stockyard No.1 plays a crucial role in providing a habitat for fish and wildlife in the area. With its scenic surroundings and conservation benefits, the dam serves as a valuable resource for water and climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of wildlife conservation and water resource management.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
