Louisville Club Pond Dam dam
Louisville Club Pond Dam
Louisville Club Pond Dam, located in Blue Springs, Alabama, was completed in 1958 and serves as a vital resource for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. This gravity dam stands at a structural height of 11 feet and has a hydraulic height of 10 feet, with a length of 462 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 34 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 1225 cubic feet per second, making it a significant structure in the area.
Although Louisville Club Pond Dam is privately owned and not regulated by the state, it still plays a crucial role in the local community. The dam's hazard potential is considered significant, and its condition has not been rated. Despite lacking recent inspection data and emergency action plans, the dam continues to provide essential services for fire protection, stock, and recreational activities. With its location on TR-PAULS CREEK and close proximity to Congressional District 02, this dam is a key feature in the water resource and climate landscape of Barbour, Alabama.
As a popular spot for recreation and wildlife, Louisville Club Pond Dam is a noteworthy structure that has been a part of the Alabama landscape for over 60 years. Its presence not only serves practical purposes but also adds to the natural beauty of the area. While there may be concerns about its hazard potential and lack of recent assessments, the dam remains a significant landmark that continues to contribute to the local ecosystem and community.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Louisville Club Pond Dam
Where does the data for Louisville Club Pond Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
