Summary
The dam is classified as an Earth dam type with a buttress core, standing at a height of 18.9 feet and stretching 375 feet in length. It has a maximum storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 33 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 3 acres. The dam's hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate overall risk assessment.
Despite its moderate risk level, Simmons Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no available data on its last inspection date or condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and outlet gates, with no associated structures or inspection frequency listed. While the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency or require permitting, it is situated within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Overall, Simmons Lake Dam serves as a vital water resource for the area, with its risk management measures yet to be fully detailed.

Dam Data Reference
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.
