C C Huxford Lake dam
C C Huxford Lake
C C Huxford Lake, also known as Huxfords Lake, is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Escambia County, Alabama. Constructed in 1961 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at 15 feet high with a length of 487 feet, providing a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is to support fish and wildlife in the area, making it a valuable resource for conservation enthusiasts.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment score of 3, C C Huxford Lake is considered a safe and reliable water resource. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 32 feet, and it has a maximum discharge capacity of 355 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it has not required any significant modifications since its completion, showcasing its stable and well-maintained state.
Situated along TR Burnt Corn Creek, C C Huxford Lake offers a serene and picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Owned privately and managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this tranquil oasis serves as a vital habitat for various species of fish and wildlife in the region. The lake's strategic location in the Mobile District of Alabama makes it a valuable focal point for conservation efforts and water resource management initiatives.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather

About C C Huxford Lake
Where does the data for C C Huxford Lake come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
