Summary
This earth dam, designed by USDA NRCS, was completed in 1960 and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Greasy Creek. With a height of 35 feet and a storage capacity of 276 acre-feet, this low hazard potential dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, this dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced to ensure optimal performance and safety. The risk assessment for the Greasy Watershed Structure Lt-1a-06 Dam is moderate, indicating a level of potential risk that is being actively managed. With a focus on flood risk reduction and a commitment to regulatory compliance, this dam stands as a key component of water resource management in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, purpose, and management of structures like the Greasy Watershed Structure Lt-1a-06 Dam is essential. By recognizing the importance of flood risk reduction and the role of regulatory agencies in ensuring safety, we can appreciate the intricate balance between water resource management and environmental protection in our communities.

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.
