C L Mullins dam
C L Mullins
C L Mullins is a privately owned recreational dam located in Lee County, Alabama, specifically in Phenix City. Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet with a hydraulic height of 19 feet. With a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, this dam on Holland Creek serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering opportunities for water-based activities in the area.
While C L Mullins has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment, it has not undergone recent inspections or had emergency action plans prepared. Despite its relatively small size and low-risk profile, this dam plays a role in managing water resources in the region and provides a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. With its location under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, C L Mullins contributes to the overall water resource and climate management efforts in Lee County.
Overall, C L Mullins represents a modest yet significant piece of the water infrastructure in Alabama, offering a space for recreational activities while also contributing to water resource management in the region. As an earth dam with a long history of service, its role in providing a safe and enjoyable environment for residents and visitors alike underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring these structures for the benefit of both people and the environment. Through continued oversight and potential updates, C L Mullins will continue to play a valuable role in the local water resource and climate landscape.
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.

About C L Mullins
Where does the data for C L Mullins 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.
