Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 41 feet and has a length of 1993 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 6305 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Coila Creek and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction for the surrounding area.
Despite its critical function, the dam is currently assessed as being in poor condition with a high hazard potential. The last inspection in 2019 revealed the need for significant improvements, with a 5-year inspection frequency in place to monitor its condition. The structure is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Despite the risks associated with its current state, the dam continues to play a crucial role in protecting the local community from potential flooding events.
