Summary

Owned privately, this earth dam with a height of 30 feet and a length of 165 feet provides a surface area of 2 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, offering a serene environment for fishing, boating, and other leisure activities.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Corbin Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition as of yet. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam remains a safe and enjoyable destination for locals and visitors alike. The dam's last inspection was conducted in October 2016, with a frequency of every 5 years, ensuring its continuous maintenance and safety for all who frequent the area.

Although not under state regulation, Corbin Lake Dam provides an important water resource for the community, offering a tranquil retreat for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Its location within the Mobile District of the USACE and its affiliation with various federal agencies highlight its significance as a recreational and environmental asset in the region.

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.
