Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 13 feet, with a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. While the dam's specific year of completion is not provided, it is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, ensuring its safety and compliance with state standards.
With an uncontrolled spillway type and moderate hazard potential, Travis Lake Dam poses a moderate risk level and has not been rated for its current condition. Despite the lack of recent assessments, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are undetermined, indicating the need for further evaluation and preparation. Located within the Vicksburg District and under the jurisdiction of the state of Mississippi, the dam remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in its potential impact on the surrounding area.
Overall, Travis Lake Dam offers a glimpse into the intersection of human infrastructure and natural resources, highlighting the importance of proper regulation and maintenance in safeguarding water bodies and their surrounding environments. As a privately owned structure with a focus on recreation, the dam's role in the local community underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and risk assessment to ensure the safety and sustainability of its operations. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience, Travis Lake Dam serves as a case study in balancing human activities with 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.
