Summary
Managed by a private entity, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. The dam is of Earth type with a Buttress core and Soil foundation, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Located in Marshall County, Mississippi, on TR- BIG SPRING CREEK, the White Lake Number 2 Dam is a vital structure for water resource management in the region. With a storage capacity of 165 acre-feet and an uncontrolled spillway, the dam provides necessary water supply for recreational activities in the area. Designed by the USDA NRCS, the dam meets state jurisdiction and permitting requirements, ensuring its safety and functionality for the community.
While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level. With no associated structures, the dam's emergency action plan status and other risk management measures are not detailed in the data. Overall, White Lake Number 2 Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management and recreation in Batesville, Mississippi, reflecting a blend of natural beauty and engineering excellence.

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.
