Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. While its primary purpose is for recreation, the dam is also regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Although classified as having a low hazard potential, Riverside Farm Lake Dam is considered to have moderate risk due to its condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite this, the risk management measures and emergency action plans for this structure are not clearly specified in the available data. With Congressman Bennie G. Thompson representing the area, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed about the management and maintenance of Riverside Farm Lake Dam to mitigate any potential risks and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
