C N Drennen Dam Number 4 dam
C N Drennen Dam Number 4
C N Drennen Dam Number 4, located in Lukes Landing, Alabama, is a privately owned earth dam that was completed in 1965 for the primary purpose of recreation. The dam has a hydraulic height of 29 feet and a structural height of 31 feet, with a length of 600 feet. It impounds the TR-Boligee Creek, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 166 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 186 acre-feet.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated", with no recent inspection data available. The dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency and has not been modified in recent years. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the dam's condition and ensure that proper risk management measures are in place to prevent any potential hazards.
Overall, C N Drennen Dam Number 4 serves as a recreational feature in Greene County, Alabama, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities. As an enthusiast in water resources and climate, it is crucial to stay informed about the maintenance and safety of dams like this one to protect surrounding communities and ecosystems from potential risks associated with dam failures.

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 N Drennen Dam Number 4
Where does the data for C N Drennen Dam Number 4 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.
