Summary

This earth dam with buttress core types stands at a height of 14 feet, providing a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. While the hazard potential is currently undetermined and the condition is not rated, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level (3).

Located in the Mobile District, this uncontrolled spillway dam is a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and regulation of water structures. Despite lacking certain assessment details, its presence in the Mississippi landscape adds to the state's water infrastructure. With a risk management plan in place and moderate risk level, Hallbrook Lake Dam invites further exploration and research into its operations and environmental impact.

As a key component of Mississippi's water management system, Hallbrook Lake Dam offers a glimpse into the complexities of maintaining and regulating dams for recreational purposes. While its current condition and hazard potential may require further evaluation, the presence of this dam underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk assessment in safeguarding water resources. For enthusiasts interested in water infrastructure and climate resilience, Hallbrook Lake Dam presents a compelling case study in the intersection of recreation, regulation, and risk management.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
