Summary
Built with an earth core buttress design, the dam stands at a height of 8 feet and has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. Despite its relatively low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to maintain safety standards.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is situated within the Memphis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. While the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, it remains a key feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area. With its scenic location and potential for recreational activities, the Corinth Lagoon Dam serves as a valuable asset for both the local community and visitors looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Mississippi's waterways.
Although the dam's exact completion date and other specifics are not provided, its presence highlights the importance of responsible water resource management and infrastructure upkeep. With its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Corinth Lagoon Dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to maintain safety and sustainability in the realm of water conservation and recreational infrastructure in Mississippi.

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.
