Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 39 feet and has a storage capacity of 1406 acre-feet. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.
The dam's hazard potential is categorized as low, with a fair condition assessment as of 2013. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the outlet gates are also uncontrolled. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating a moderate level of risk associated with the structure. Overall, the Second Creek WS Str No 1 Dam plays a crucial role in managing flood risk in the area and is an essential part of the water resource infrastructure in Mississippi.
With its strategic location in Walnut Bayou and W/S Ditch 1, the Second Creek WS Str No 1 Dam provides valuable flood protection for the surrounding area. As a local government-owned structure, it serves as a testament to collaborative efforts in water resource management. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering and regulatory measures in place to ensure the safety and functionality of this important infrastructure.

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.
