Summary
The dam is primarily designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and serves low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam is well-maintained and has not been rated for its current condition.
Located in the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Proposed Valley Rescue Mission Lake Dam is essential for water resource management in the area. With a normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres, the dam contributes to flood control and water supply needs. Although currently uncontrolled, the spillway and outlet gates pose minimal risk to the surrounding community.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Proposed Valley Rescue Mission Lake Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for the local community and ecosystem. With its strategic location and design, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating potential risks. Continued monitoring and maintenance of the dam will ensure its long-term effectiveness in providing sustainable water management solutions for the region.

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.
