Summary
The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam provides a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors.
Built as an earth dam with a buttress core type, Lindsey Pond Dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. While not rated for its condition assessment, the dam is inspected regularly by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and there are no associated locks or gates, making it a simple yet effective structure for water management.
As a part of the Mobile District under the US Army Corps of Engineers, Lindsey Pond Dam contributes to the overall water resource management in the region. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, its presence plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of water resources in the area. For those interested in exploring the intersection of water resources, climate, and recreation, Lindsey Pond Dam is a noteworthy stop to appreciate the beauty and functionality of dam structures.

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.
