Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth type with a Buttress core, stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. While the dam is considered low hazard with a moderate risk rating, it is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring that it meets state standards for inspection, enforcement, and permitting.
Despite its modest size and storage capacity, Bock Lakedam Dam provides a valuable recreational resource for the local community. With its uncontrolled spillway and lack of associated structures, the dam serves as a peaceful retreat for outdoor enthusiasts seeking water-based activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. Its location within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers adds to its appeal as a well-maintained and safe environment for visitors.
As a private dam with a focus on recreation, Bock Lakedam Dam represents a balance between human enjoyment and environmental regulation. While its low hazard potential suggests minimal risk to the surrounding area, the dam's moderate risk rating highlights the importance of ongoing assessment and management to ensure the safety of those who utilize its waters. With its picturesque setting and commitment to state oversight, Bock Lakedam Dam stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of water resource development and climate conservation.

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.
