Summary
This earth dam, primarily used for recreation, was designed by the USDA NRCS and is owned privately. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. It has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and serves as a recreational spot for locals and visitors to enjoy. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with uncontrolled outlet gates, and it sits on the TR-Plum Creek water body. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam continues to be monitored for any necessary maintenance or upgrades to manage potential risks effectively.
Located in Noxubee County, Mississippi, the Coleman Lake MS00775 Dam is a significant feature on the Plum Creek. With its historic construction and ongoing monitoring, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and recreational activities in the region. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate can appreciate the balance between safety, recreation, and environmental concerns that this dam represents in the local landscape.

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.
