PREFACE
Lewis Smith Dam is the largest earthen dam in the eastern United States. The dam, dedicated in May
1961 and put into service on September 5, 1961, is 2,200 feet in length and reaches a maximum
height of 300 feet. Construction began on November 25, 1957 and continued for four years. The dam
is owned and operated by the Alabama Power Company.
Located on the Sipsey Fork, the uppermost lake on the Black Warrior River, the dam creates Lewis Smith
Lake. The lake covers approximately 22,000 acres in Cullman, Walker, and Winston counties. The three-
fingered lake has 642 miles of shoreline and at full summer pool has a level of 510 feet.
At the national level, the federal government developed and published the Federal Guidelines for Dam
Safety in 1979. In addition, a Presidential memorandum was issued directing certain Federal agencies to
implement FEMA 93, Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety. FEMA 93 encourages strict safety standards in
the practices and procedures of Federal agencies and dam owners regulated by Federal agencies. The
guidelines state that Those charged with administering the guidelines must recognize that the
achievement of dam safety is through a continuous, dynamic process in which guidelines, practices, and
procedures are examined periodically and updated.
In 1996, the Water Resources Development Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-303) directed FEMA to establish
a National Dam Safety Program. The Act also directed FEMA to establish a National Dam Safety Review
Board whose purpose would be to advise the Director of FEMA on setting national dam safety priorities
and to provide assistance in monitoring State dam safety programs. The State of Alabama does not have
a Dam Safety Program.
The Cullman County Emergency Management Agency, in conjunction with other county organizations
concerned, initiated a program in May of 2015 to develop evacuation plans for affected areas
downstream from the Lewis Smith Dam. Due to the development of residential areas and numerous
other changes in Cullman County over the past several years, this plan supersedes other previous
versions, which should be destroyed.
Nearby towns include Colony, Dodge City, Hanceville, and Good Hope. Unincorporated communities
include Cold Springs, Bremen, Arkadelphia, Black Bottom, Valley Grove, Cates Bottom, and other rural
areas downstream within Cullman County.
This plan should be used in conjunction with the Cullman County Emergency Operations Plan dated
March 2013 (updated 2015).

EFFECTIVE DATE
This plan is effective immediately and will be activated by the Cullman County Emergency Management Agency
upon the direction of the chief elected officials of the affected jurisdictions.

BASIC PLAN
EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLAN FOR DAM FAILURE AND FLOODING
LEWIS SMITH DAM/MULBERRY RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES
I. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this plan is to establish procedures for warning, evacuating, and sheltering
persons who would be endangered in the event of the individual failure of the Lewis Smith Dam.
It also addresses similar emergency response actions which might be required in the event of
flooding, caused by emergency releases from the Lewis Smith Dam spillway, turbines, and
sluices. The plan is designed to accomplish these functions with minimum confusion and
maximum speed consistent with the Cullman County Emergency Operations Plan to save lives
and protect property.
II. SCOPE:
A. This plan is regional in application and pertains to possible failure or high discharge from
Lewis Smith Dam located on the Cullman-Walker County border of southwest Cullman
County. It describes the actions necessary to accomplish the warning and evacuation of
areas that would be inundated in Cullman County, Alabama. The plan addresses emergency
actions for Cullman County, Alabama only.
A potential population of approximately 810 would be at risk in the identified inundation

areas shown in Appendix B. The total property value within the inundation area is $ (TBD) _
based on current tax property plats as recorded).
The total population estimate for residents was calculated for approximately 310 addresses
(identified from tax data) multiplied by 2.61 persons per household. The property value is
based on tax records for each parcel within the affected area.
Sources: Cullman County Revenue Commission
B. This plan has been developed within the authority and guidance contained in the Alabama
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) which governs responsibility and actions of state agencies
in an emergency or disaster situation. At the local level, the Cullman County Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP) is the overall response plan for all hazards.
The plan is designed to:
1. Establish warning procedures.

2. Outline evacuation procedures.
-Lewis Smith Dam
8
3. Identify evacuation routes

4. Identify reception centers and shelters to be activated for the care of evacuees.
5. Identify procedures for the security of the perimeter and the interior of the affected
area during and after evacuation.
6. Identify procedures for allowing evacuees to return to their homes.
7. Assign specific functions and responsibilities to state and local response agencies
and other organizations.

IV. SITUATION:
A. The Lewis Smith Dam is located at river mile 443.3 above Mobile on the Warrior River near
Jasper, Alabama and is located 77.5 river miles upstream from the Bankhead Dam. The dam
is listed as the largest earthen dam in the eastern United States. Constructed between 1957
and 1961, the rock-fill dam has a crest at elevation 550 feet. The dam is 2,200 feet long and
has a maximum height of 300 feet. The crest width is 50 feet and base width is 1,060 feet.
The spillway is a 350 ft wide uncontrolled weir at elevation 522 feet. The lake surface area is
21,200 acres with a shoreline of approximately 642 miles. Full summer pool elevation is 510
feet; winter pool elevation is 496 feet. The lake volume is 1,390,000 acre-feet (approx.
452,932,890,000 gallons).
B. The probability of the failure of this dam with or without warning is extremely remote.
Any unsafe condition or situation would normally be detected early and remedial action
initiated as appropriate. If a controlled release from a spillway should be required or if any
-Lewis Smith Dam
9
possibility of dam failure was indicated, state and local Emergency Management Agencies
would be immediately notified by the Alabama Control Center (ACC).
V. CONCEPT OF OPERATION:
To assure appropriate and prompt response to an emergency situation at the Lewis Smith Dam,
the Alabama Power Dam Safety Division has classified potential emergency situation or
conditions according to the relative urgency as follows:
Type A: Failure is Imminent or Has Occurred (Condition A)

Type B: Potential Failure Situation is Developing (Condition B)
Type C: Non-failure Emergency Condition (Condition C)
The APC Team Leader or designated representative will, in the event of any emergency, take
immediate action necessary to prevent failure and to prevent or minimize loss of life and property.
He/She will initiate emergency notification procedures based on conditions as follows:
A. In Condition C Non-Failure Emergency Condition, which is utilized when there is no danger

of dam failure but flow conditions are expected to cause flooding downstream from the
dam, operations and communications are performed by the Alabama Power Company
(APC).
B. In Condition B Potential Failure Situation is Developing; notifications will be initiated by

the Team Leader or Plant operator to the ACC Dispatcher or Coordinator who will then
notify the AEMA. AEMA will notify County Emergency Management Agencies.
C. In Condition A Failure is Imminent or Has Occurred, the Team Leader or Plant

operator will notify the ACC Dispatcher or Coordinator, who will notify County
Emergency Management Agency Warning Points (refer to flow chart in Appendix _)

VII. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS WARNING AND EVACUATION
A. General.
Local warning and evacuation operations will be conducted by Cullman County and will
be carried out in accordance with procedures established in APPENDIX I of this plan. The
following guidelines apply to federal, state, and local actions in an emergency situation.
1. In a Condition B Potential Failure Situation is Developing, the situation will be closely

monitored by local emergency response personnel and AEMA. The Cullman County EOC
will be activated and CCEMA will maintain close contact with AEMA.
-Lewis Smith Dam
11
Voluntary evacuation may be recommended for residents who require assistance due
to lack of transportation and/or medical conditions. Evacuation may be recommended
or ordered by local officials as a precautionary measure if the situation continues to
deteriorate or dam failure appears imminent.
2. In a Condition A Failure is Imminent or Has Occurred Time has run out A warning
will be passed to local emergency management offices immediately. The State and local
Emergency Operations Centers will be fully activated.
Due to the extremely limited time available for dissemination of warning under these
conditions, the first indication of an emergency for many residents in the danger area
may be rapidly rising water.
This is particularly true from 0-3 miles below the Lewis Smith Dam. Under these
circumstances, endangered persons should move to high ground immediately and
await rescue. (Inundation Maps Page 37).
B. Authority for Emergency Actions.
Authority for Emergency Actions, including ordered evacuation, is contained in

Governors Executive Order #15, February 15, 1994 (Gov. Jim Folsom, Jr.). This order
describes authorities of the Alabama Emergency Management Director and the authority
for Emergency Management Coordinators.

ESTIMATED POPULATION TO BE RELOCATED OR EVACUATED
Approximately 810 people in the affected area would require relocation/evacuation.
Persons to be evacuated are located in the areas of Cullman County in the confines of ZIP
Codes 35077, 35057, 35055, and 35033. The areas affected are primarily located along and
south of Alabama Highway 69S, north and south of Alabama Highway 91 and west of interstate
65, exit 291.
Most evacuation studies indicate that, on the average, only about 40% or less of the
population, which evacuates an area during a disaster, will utilize designated shelter facilities.
Most of those evacuated will opt to stay with a friend or relative or stay at a hotel.
Cullman Countys shelters will accommodate a total population of 1293 persons and can
accommodate the anticipated 40% of the affected population, or a total of approximately 324
persons.
TOTAL ESTIMATED EVACUEES810

Reception Centers are designated to allow

residents who need to evacuate, and do
not have family or friends to stay with or
cannot obtain hotel rooms, to have a
specific initial location to report to
outside of the inundation area.
Once evacuees report in to their

designated Reception Center, they will be
assigned a public shelter within the County.
Residents with pets should bring pets in

carriers. Any medications, food, etc. should
also be brought with the pet.
By reporting to the Reception Center, officials

will have time to determine which public
shelter(s) within the County to open and get
centers prepared and staffed to receive
evacuees. Although a reception center may be
an approved shelter, evacuees will be
dispersed to shelters throughout the County,
based on the number each will accommodate.
