Summary
Managed by a private owner, the dam is state-regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring proper inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes are in place. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam stands at a height of 15 feet and provides a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet.
Constructed as an earth dam with buttress core types, Mrs Francis Fulkson Pond Dam boasts an uncontrolled spillway type and a low hazard potential. Despite being rated as "Not Rated" in condition assessment, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With its picturesque location and moderate risk level, the dam is a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the surrounding natural beauty.
With its proximity to the Memphis District and the oversight of the state regulatory agency, the dam plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in Mississippi. While the dam may not have a designated year of completion or detailed inspection records available, its presence as a recreational and water storage structure underscores the importance of sustainable infrastructure development in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, Mrs Francis Fulkson Pond Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of human-made structures and environmental stewardship.

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.
