Summary
Constructed in 1951 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 19 feet and has a storage capacity of 144 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Situated on TR- Bayou Pierre, this dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite its moderate risk rating, the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts, raising concerns about its preparedness for potential incidents. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with uncontrolled outlet gates, emphasizing the need for proper risk management measures to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam.
Overall, Farm Land Company Lake Number 4 Dam serves as a recreational asset in the area, providing opportunities for water-based activities. While it has a relatively low hazard potential, the lack of an EAP and updated emergency contacts highlight the importance of ensuring proper risk assessment and management to safeguard the dam and surrounding areas from potential emergencies. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this dam's data and regulatory information valuable in understanding its role in the local ecosystem and the importance of responsible maintenance and management practices.

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.
