Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS, this earth dam was completed in 1970 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR- Standing Pine Creek. With a height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 2666 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating potential flooding in the region.
Despite its important function, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, posing a significant hazard potential according to the data. The last inspection in 2015 revealed the need for improvements, highlighting the urgency for maintenance and upgrades to ensure the structure's safety and effectiveness in flood control. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, and regular inspections are conducted to assess its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations.
In light of its moderate risk assessment and the need for maintenance, Standing Pine Watershed Structure 5 Dam serves as a reminder of the critical role that water resource management plays in climate resilience. As climate change continues to impact precipitation patterns and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the proper maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure like this dam are essential for safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the threats of flooding and water scarcity.

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.
