Summary
With a height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet, this dam structure serves as a vital asset for the local community. Despite its low hazard potential, the condition assessment is currently not available, suggesting a need for further inspection and maintenance to ensure its long-term reliability.
Located within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Community Lake provides not only recreational opportunities but also serves as a source of water supply for the surrounding area. While specific details about the primary purpose and dam type are not listed, it is evident that the lake plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and support the upkeep of Community Lake to safeguard its ecological and recreational value for future generations.
With a designated emergency action plan (EAP) and state permitting and inspection protocols in place, Community Lake demonstrates a commitment to safety and regulatory compliance. While the last inspection date and condition assessment may not be readily available, the low hazard potential and state jurisdiction provide some assurance of its stability. As advocates for sustainable water resource management, it is essential to continue advocating for transparency and accountability in the maintenance and monitoring of Community Lake to ensure its resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
