Summary
Built in 1988 by the USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam serves primarily as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. With a height of 16 feet and a length of 650 feet, Solomon Dam has a storage capacity of 164 acre-feet, making it a crucial resource for the local ecosystem.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Solomon Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, requiring proper risk management measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 72 feet, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 530 cubic feet per second. With a surface area of 17 acres and a drainage area of 0.21 square miles, Solomon Dam plays a vital role in water resource management and conservation efforts in Greene County, Alabama.
While not currently rated for its condition, Solomon Dam remains an essential asset for supporting fish and wildlife habitats in the region. As a popular site for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, the dam's strategic location on TR-TRUSSELL CK. enhances its significance in promoting biodiversity and environmental sustainability. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the importance of structures like Solomon Dam in maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystems and safeguarding our natural resources for future generations.

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.
