Summary
Completed in 2014, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 29.3 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its relatively small surface area of 2.3 acres, Fassmann Frac Pond Dam plays a significant role in providing water for various purposes, including irrigation and livestock. The dam's uncontrolled spillway type and buttress core design contribute to its structural integrity and efficient water management. With proper maintenance and regulation, this dam continues to fulfill its primary purpose of supplying water to the surrounding area while mitigating any potential risks associated with its operation.
In the event of emergencies, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status remains undisclosed, but its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment suggest that appropriate risk management measures are in place. With the support of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and regular inspections, Fassmann Frac Pond Dam ensures the continued availability of water resources for the community it serves, making it a vital component of water infrastructure in the region.

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.
