Summary
It is owned by the local government and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The dam has a height of 9 feet and a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet, serving a primary purpose that is classified as "Other".
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type and is not equipped with outlet gates or locks. Its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", with a moderate risk level. While the dam has not been inspected recently, it is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement measures. The risk management measures and emergency action plan for the dam are not currently available, highlighting the need for further evaluation and preparation in the event of an emergency.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Louisville Lagoon Number 2 Dam may find its design and regulatory information intriguing, as well as the potential risks associated with its moderate hazard level. The dam's location in Mississippi, its low hazard potential, and the absence of recent inspection data raise questions about its safety and emergency preparedness. Further monitoring and assessment of this dam are essential to ensure the protection of surrounding communities and the environment in case of a potential hazard.

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.
