Summary
Owned privately, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the TR- Hickahala Creek and spans a surface area of 14.46 acres, providing a serene environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Senatobia Lakes Subdivision Dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and compliance with environmental regulations. Despite having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition was assessed as unsatisfactory in 2015. With a moderate risk rating, measures for risk management and emergency preparedness are crucial to safeguard the surrounding community and ecosystem in case of any unforeseen events.
With its picturesque location and recreational offerings, the Senatobia Lakes Subdivision Dam serves as a vital water resource for the local community while also attracting nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure like this dam becomes increasingly critical to ensure water security and environmental sustainability in the region.

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.
