Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. Situated along the TR- MAMMOUTH BAYOU, the dam is regulated by the MS Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is rated as moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and while it has not been rated for its condition, it is considered to be in a satisfactory state. The surrounding area offers opportunities for outdoor activities and water recreation, making it a valuable asset for local residents and visitors alike.
Overall, Callon Lake Number 2 Dam serves as both a functional structure for water resource management and a recreational destination for the community. With its design and construction overseen by the USDA NRCS, the dam continues to play a vital role in providing water storage and leisure opportunities while being subject to state regulations and inspections to ensure its safety and integrity 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.
