Summary
This Earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 20 feet, offering a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state standards.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk rating, indicating a need for ongoing risk management measures. The spillway is uncontrolled, with no outlet gates or associated structures, highlighting its simple design. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk level suggests a need for continued monitoring and potential updates to emergency action plans to meet safety guidelines.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Southall Lake Number 1 Dam offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of human activity and natural systems. With its serene location and recreational focus, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible water management practices and the need for ongoing maintenance to ensure the safety of both the structure and the surrounding environment.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
