Summary
Owned privately, the dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected and enforced by state authorities. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the dam provides essential water storage with a capacity of 63 acre-feet.
Built as an earth dam with a buttress core type, Stradheim Lake Dam reaches a height of 16 feet and features an uncontrolled spillway. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam serves as a focal point for recreational activities in the area. Located in Lincoln County, Mississippi, the dam contributes to the local ecosystem and provides opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the natural beauty surrounding the reservoir.
Overall, Stradheim Lake Dam serves as a vital piece of infrastructure for water management and recreation in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and regulation of such dams become increasingly important to ensure the safety and sustainability of these structures. With proper oversight and management, Stradheim Lake Dam will continue to play a crucial role in water resource management and recreation for years to come.

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.
