Summary
The dam, primarily used for recreation purposes, is an earth dam with a buttress core type and a height of 25 feet, providing a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet. The spillway type is uncontrolled, with a hazard potential currently classified as undetermined and a moderate risk assessment rating.
While the specific year of completion and other details such as dam length and drainage area are not provided, Presbyterian Lake Dam remains a significant feature in the area. Its ownership and regulatory framework ensure that it is inspected, permitted, and enforced according to state guidelines. With its location in a scenic setting and its role in providing recreational opportunities, the dam serves as a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the management and maintenance of such structures in Mississippi.
As a part of the Mobile District under the US Army Corps of Engineers, Presbyterian Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water management and safety in the region. With its moderate risk rating and undetermined hazard potential, ongoing monitoring and management measures are likely in place to ensure the continued safety and functionality of the dam. For those interested in the intersection of water resources, climate, and infrastructure, Presbyterian Lake Dam serves as a tangible example of how these elements intersect in the management of water bodies for recreational and practical purposes.

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.
