Summary

This earth dam, with a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet, is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating.

Located within the Vicksburg District, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no information available regarding its last inspection date or emergency action plan status. Despite these gaps, the dam's risk management measures are not specified, suggesting a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and maintenance of this water resource infrastructure. Overall, E E Wallace Pond Dam presents an intriguing case for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore further in terms of its design, regulation, and risk assessment.

As a vital component of the local water management system, E E Wallace Pond Dam offers a valuable opportunity for studying the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and regulatory oversight. With its unique characteristics such as the buttress core type and uncontrolled spillway, the dam serves as a captivating subject for analysis and discussion among those interested in understanding the complexities of maintaining and safeguarding water infrastructure in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
