Troupe Trice No.1 dam
Troupe Trice No.1
Troupe Trice No.1, located in Boligee, Alabama, is a privately owned Earth dam completed in 1989 by the USDA NRCS. This structure serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres. The dam has a height of 15.2 feet and a length of 1000 feet, designed to control the flow of water from the Boligee Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, Troupe Trice No.1 poses a moderate risk due to its location and function. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 10 feet, and the dam has not been rated for its condition since its last inspection in 1989. With a drainage area of 0.06 square miles and a maximum discharge of 87 cubic feet per second, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Troupe Trice No.1 represents a unique intersection of conservation efforts and wildlife habitat preservation. The dam, managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, contributes to the ecological balance of the Boligee Creek while providing essential water storage for various purposes. As we continue to monitor and assess the condition of such structures, understanding their role in sustaining our environment becomes increasingly vital in the face of changing climate patterns.

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 Troupe Trice No.1
Where does the data for Troupe Trice No.1 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.
