Summary
The dam is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type, standing at a height of 8 feet and offering a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. While the dam is deemed to have a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, its condition has not been rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and does not have associated locks or outlet gates.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Duck Pond Dam is situated within the Vicksburg District and falls under state jurisdiction, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. Despite its recreational purpose, the dam's condition assessment, emergency action plan, and risk management measures are not currently rated or updated. The dam's location and features make it a potentially interesting site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and study, particularly in the context of its risk assessment and management strategies. With its tranquil setting and moderate risk level, Duck Pond Dam presents an intriguing case for further investigation and evaluation in the field of water resource management.

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.
