Summary
The dam, with a height of 26 feet, serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 1120 acre-feet. It is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type and features an uncontrolled spillway.
Despite its low hazard potential, B Conway Lake Dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam has not been inspected recently. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for the dam are not specified in the available data. Located in the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam does not have any associated locks or outlets.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in B Conway Lake Dam can appreciate its role in providing recreational opportunities in the area. However, the lack of recent inspections and emergency preparedness information may raise concerns about the safety and management of this structure. Monitoring and proactive measures may be necessary to ensure the continued functionality and safety of the dam in light of potential risks.

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.
