Summary
The dam, classified as an earth dam with buttress core type, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, and specific details about its construction year and length are not provided.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and regulated by the state, E B Rogers Lake Dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and lacks associated structures or outlet gates. The dam's location within the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers contributes to its oversight and monitoring. While the dam has not been recently inspected, its risk management measures and emergency action plans are unspecified, leaving room for potential updates and improvements to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, E B Rogers Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study in private dam management and recreational infrastructure. With its scenic location and potential for outdoor recreation, the dam's risk assessment and regulatory compliance offer valuable insights into the intersection of leisure activities, environmental conservation, and infrastructure safety. As discussions around water resource management and climate adaptation continue to evolve, monitoring and enhancing the resilience of dams like E B Rogers Lake Dam will be crucial for sustainable development and community well-being in the region.

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.
